Just don't make the unknowable and unpredictable future mean anything -- like, worrying about getting your shopping done or fretting that the bananas might not be ripe. You can figure for contingencies about the future; it's feeling emotions based on things that are not happening that prevents you from being present Now. |
I think first I should clarify why I wanted to do this challenge.
One of the main reasons is that my focus tends to be very scattered, and I wanted to be able to have a clear mind and think only what I want, when I want. I was inspired by Erin's
Pesky Logic post where she went on an intuition binge and ignored logic for 30 days. I wanted to do something similar, and I had a feeling that if I was constantly aware and present, it would be easier for me to redirect my thoughts and increase my focus.
So, yeah, Angela, I'm not trying to ignore the future and deny it, I'm just trying to go on a present moment binge
Healthyfit: Yeah, that makes sense, because I'm working on LoA too. One of the things I notice is that things which I think of the intention, then just let it go (and sometimes forget about) usually just happens all by itself, without me needing to do too much about it, and just going with the flow.
