What does it mean to live in the present moment?
Perhaps it’s about making peace with our past.
What stops us from living in the present moment?
Our past. Our unpleasant experiences. The things that happened to us. They keep dragging us back, pulling us away from the here and now.
Every time we say, “It’s because of that experience. That’s why I am like this.”
We are falling into the rabbit hole again.
How about we pause for a moment and ask ourselves:
What is happening now?
How do I feel now?
Am I feeling this because of the past?
It’s so tiring and heavy to keep going back to the same place.
Our past is a part of us. It’s impossible to simply forget what happened. But perhaps we can let go of the pain, the discomfort and the fear that we continue to carry from those experiences.
When we begin to make peace with our past, perhaps we can finally breathe again.
To be here.
To feel.
To experience life as it is.
To live fully.
