Being Present
With 2010 well underway I have finally found the motivation I needed to set some goals, or more precisely address my desired mindset for the New Year. I will be working very hard to BE PRESENT! I need to be where I am in body, mind and spirit. My mind is often drifting towards worry about the future and loss of the past. That is why it will take a great deal of discipline to really stay present, but I hope that it will bring me greater contentment in the new year. There’s some one else that has my future figured out and the past should be memories that I cherish, not to be mourned.
In addition to my focus on being present, I have a few habits, not so much resolutions, that I want to employ.
1. No e-mail between 6 and 9 p.m. (I hope this keeps me more engaged with family and keeps me from being sucked in.)
2. Getting back to my cleaning schedule and possibly hiring a cleaning lady again.
3. Monthly date night
4. Keep a gratitude journal – making note of the incredible blessings in my everyday life.
5. Not working on nights or weekends unless deadlines are eminent!
6. In the same theme, keeping weekends FUN!

LOVE IT!!!!! Being present is a good thing, and I need to work on it, too! Maybe we can challenge each other to be present when we let our thoughts get the best of us! Hugs!
