For those of you that may not know, my family moved across the country this summer.
And with that move, a TON of changes for each individual family member. We said goodbye to amazing friends, we sold our house, our cars, my son left a school he loved and, oddly, my eyesight is going to crap.
After some exploring, we picked a city, struggled to find a car when little to no inventory was available, lived with family, and played hard.
With all that change there were amazing, fun, and adventurous moments, but there are also big moments of anxiety for each of us.
We know 2 people in the city we moved to.
My anxiety shows up most when I am thinking about what could happen in the future.
The moments my husband has to travel, or for example, I am terrified of snakes and our new home is a bit rural and I started researching snakes in our area. And…it freaks me the fuck out, but what percentage of my days will I encounter one? Probably pretty small (fingers crossed).
And yet I need to be prepared either way and that does not mean I need to be terrorized.
But… how much of your days are spent thinking about the what if’s of the future rather than just being where we are right now?
How often do we just think about this moment happening right now?
How often do we rush, make ourselves cranky, and burnout from thinking too damn much?
Instead let’s breathe, enjoy, and see what is happening around us (the good and the bad).
When we do we are present with what is happening.
Can you do that today?
