GETTING OUT OF THE BLAHS
In a life coaching session this morning, my client said that he had a sense of forboding. After exploring what was behind this feeling it was discovered that he felt uncertain about almost everything in his life.
Even the most enjoyable aspects of his life seemed challenging. Lately I have across others who shared his same sentiment.
What has happened is that they have become focused on the future. When they project what they see happening in the world today into the future and into their own life they get discouraged. Living and worrying about the future makes it difficult to live and enjoy the now.
We know from our work together and the work we’ve done on our own that being in the now is the key to one’s living a fulfilling life.
So what can you do to be more in the moment? Some of these suggestions I am sure you already know. But it’s good to hear them again.
Meditation….a physical discipline….exercise. Any activity that engages you. If you have too much time on your hands, you’ll be thinking about other things…anything to engage your mind. Exercise is a biggie. You just got to work it in.
Come back to your spiritual practice and if you already are committed, then deepen your commitment.
From this perspective it’s more of a natural progression to be optimistic about the future.
As you change how you think about your life, your life changes. I don’t mean to be mystical. But that’s the way it works.
