Thought for today:

‘I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.’

— Abraham Maslow

What baggage do we all carry from our past, that affects our ability to be happy in the present?

This comes up so frequently that I’m writing a book about it.

With clients, their anxiety about the future is naturally heightened at the moment.

I understand their distress and disturbance.

Being present in the moment is a key element of Mindfulness.

I don’t often use my Mindfulness training in my work.

Maybe I should, helping myself stay in the present.

Being, not doing.

I post a quote and some thoughts every day and have done for 32 weeks (so far).
