Masterclass in Living in the Present

Aug 25, 2020 | Mindset

I met with my coach yesterday and she asked me, “How are you doing?” We chatted for a while and I shared that my Coronavirus life is like a roller coaster. Sometimes I am full of gratitude for all that is going right in my life, and other times I am full of worry and loss.

She said simply, “This time period is a masterclass in living in the present moment.”

What we learn from meditation, prayer, and yoga is to “Be Here Now.” Meditation coach Sarah Raymond says, “We cannot take a past breath, we cannot take a future breath, we can only take a current breath.”

Please be gentle with yourselves and others during this challenging time in our lives, our workplaces, and our families.  

Share with me how you are coping. I always love hearing from you.
