“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God’s gift, that’s why we call it the present.”- Joan Rivers
So then , why is that we spend so much time reviewing the past and trying to predict the future when the only time frame we have control of is the present?
What about the past?
Memories can be filled with love, joy, and happiness those are the feelings we want to take hold of and bring them into the now. However more often those memories are filled with pain, sadness, regret, anger & guilt. Those are the feelings we want to leave in the past. Those feelings do not serve us in our present day lives and are not resourceful. When we are focused on those negative feelings of sadness, regret & guilt from the past we send out that very same vibration into the Universe and therefore we manifest more of the same.
What about the future?
Imagining what might happen is great until our imaginations seek the worst possible outcome. We have no way of knowing EXACTLY what will happen good or bad, although we can imagine only good outcomes or only the outcomes we desire. Many ideas about the future are rooted in hope, love, bliss and joy, and more often others are rooted in fear, lack, and desperation. Some of the thoughts that may come are “Is this really going to work?”, “We’ll never be able to do that..”, “I’ll never be fit and healthy”, “What if it doesn’t work out?”. Those are all lower vibration thoughts which lead to lower vibration feelings and the outcome is more of the same.
In the End
Ultimately, whether you focus on the regret and guilt from the past, or the lack and frustration of the future you will send out that lower vibration into the Universe. The Universe is your support group and will support you in whatever vibration you choose to emit. The key is deciding what vibration you would rather have returned to you, high or low?
The 5 Ways to Stay in The Gift of NOW
- Stay in Faith – Faith and fear can not occupy the same space. When you are in faith you have strong conviction that you are fully supported by your DIVINE CREATOR and therefore the Universe is always abundant, joyful and limitless. Everything is an opportunity for growth, learning and expansion
- Re-frame your language – The conversations you have with yourself are key to what you will attract and because of that must be supportive. Instead of saying “What if this doesn’t work out…?” try “What if everything works out just the way I want it..?” Those two statements send two very different feelings/vibrations into The Universe and that means what you get back is different also.
- Make Moves in Joy – When you set a goal and instead of taking the next step towards it you find all the ways you can’t achieve that goal or it would be hard or you don’t have time, etc, you will attract more of those same feelings and you will put off taking action until you never achieve that goal. Instead, when you are feeling doubt or fear take the next natural step in achieving your goal no matter how small. When you are taking action in joy you are showing the Universe how you want to be supported and energizing your vibration around achieving your goal!!
- Affirm it!! – Your words are the beginning of your creation…. words leads to thoughts which leads to feelings which leads to manifesting. Whenever you are feeling regret, fear, sadness, lack or whatever You can use this affirmation or create your own. ”I am so happy and grateful everything I want is already here, thank you, thank you thank you.”
- Gratitude – This is simple (reason I left it for #5:) ) Whenever you you are feeling detached from the present, regretting the past, or worrying about the future you can always refocus and look at all the great blessing in your life right now, and no matter what your current reality is you can always change it. The power to change is in you. When you are feeling down about your current circumstances you can seek out (an organization) those who may be less fortunate and be of service. Being of service to others is a surefire way to uplift your vibration.
In the comments please tell me some ways you stay in the moment. I would love to hear from you.
