315 • Grateful for this moment via /r/gratitude

I’m practicing being more present. I like to think I’m pretty good at this, however I still catch myself slipping now and again. Just so caught up in planning or reflection. These two ‘time zones’ – future and past – are either filled with regret, remorse, and sometimes even guilt in a really bad moment or feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and worry when I start imagining the worst kind of future outcomes. None of these are productive states of mind. Being focused in the now moment is always so much better.

I love planning. Planning for good things to happen. This positive mindset shift has repositioned my thoughts to a much higher frequency. I’m practicing expecting good outcomes, planning for success. It’s imperative that I plan certain parts of my life, due to responsibilities. And this is getting better when I have to look ahead into the future.
