Thanks for being here reading today’s blog. As usual, I can’t take much credit for the inspiration. The credit goes to a motivational podcast I heard earlier this week. I got inspired by the phrase “Be here now.” We’ve all heard the phrase and a few of us occasionally try it but believe me, it is much harder than it sounds.
BE HERE NOW
Be here now. What exactly does that mean? Of course I’m here now. Is there somewhere else I should I be? No, silly. That is not what it means. It means, wherever you are, whatever you are doing and whoever you are doing it with, be fully present in the moment and nowhere else. Go ahead, give it a try.
A WANDERING MIND
How many of you have ever tried to meditate? I’ve been attempting it for years. They say practice makes perfect, so judging from my success at meditation, I could still use some more practice. Just when I think I can “Clear my mind”, it wanders off in a million directions. Staying focused is difficult. Apparently it is completely normal to have a wandering mind. When your mind wanders off, honor your thoughts then go back and concentrate on your breathing. Become aware and try to simply be in the moment.
OVERLY BUSY
Many of us multi-task and can juggle quite a few balls in the air at once. No problem, right? The reality is, serious multi-tasking and being overly busy or distracted has its drawbacks. Divided attention can cause you to drop a ball or two. Are you guilty as charged? With a mind and body in constant motion, some things are bound to suffer. Hopefully, it is not your health. Don’t get so busy that you put your health and concerns on the back burner.
IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY
Obviously, the hope is you are happy and well. Don’t let an overly busy life distract you from things that are important. If you have a concern or symptom, ignoring it will not make it go away. Early detection is critical and in many situations, it saves lives.
OLD ADAGE
If you have concerns, address them as soon as possible. Unlike fine wine, most medical problems don’t improve with age. The old adage “When you have your health, you have it all” is 100% absolutely, positively, without a doubt, spot on! Seriously, when you are in poor health, nothing else really matters, does it?
