Really, we do two things: We react or we create.
Question: I do not seem to be able to remain in the present.
I am always worrying about the past or fantasizing about the future.
I feel incomplete without a romantic relationship. I know this is not true, but I still feel like my life is on hold all the time.
How can I develop the consciousness to stay present and have the self-awareness to enjoy the reality of my life?
Answer: Hello, dear one! Thank you for your question. This is a wonderful question, and it certainly is a dilemma that many people go through.
How to have the self-awareness to be in the moment.
- When we are in the moment, we pull in all of our resources and we become a creative channel.
- When we are in the past, we are separated from our power.
- When we worry about the future, we are also suggesting that we are without power.
Exercise to Build Self Awareness
So, dear one, you can begin by creating some type of reminder.
It can be placing sticky notes all over that say, “I am in the now.” Or it can be placing a rubber band around your wrist so you can play with it when you find you are not in the present moment. This way when you catch when you are worrying and can go on to grab the rubber band and give it a little tug.
What I am trying to help you create is a tool in the physical that helps you pay attention so you can become conscious that your thoughts are wandering into the past or future. If you like, create an intention to continue returning to the present moment, right…now.
The power of intention will make a difference when your thoughts move to the past or future in unuseful ways.
Creating an Intention
It also feels like your question is, “How do I explore a way to hold intention?”
Once you become more conscious and create a visual reminder in your environment (like a sticky note or rubber band), you can create a mental reminder like, “Okay, let me pull my thoughts back into the now.”
You will begin to notice a feeling in your body of what it is like to have your internal senses and resources more presently available. You will gradually gain more vitality and energy from your inner resources because they will be more available to access. Then you can begin to consciously direct your energy through intention to a desired preference you would like to see manifest in your outer world.
Creating Versus Reacting
Really, we do two things: We react or we create.
When we are in the past or the future, we are reacting. When we are reacting, we are without power. Powerfulness and connection. Do you see?
When we are in the present, we are creative because we have our inner resources available. They can begin to charge our ideas and our thought-forms.
Dear one, here’s a little hint: The more your being can be in the now, the more vibrancy will fill you, and the easier it will be to attract love.
When you are in the now, holding your thoughts in the present, a childlike vibration comes into your body, and also it energizes your nature. When this happens you can think more clearly about what types of creative actions you want to encounter.
This leads to deeper self-discovery.
This leads to a stronger sense of individuality.
This brightens your light, which helps people (like soul mates) find you.
We have an agreement when we come into our body being, and that is to bring us vibrations in which we are compatible. By finding your sense of self within you, others will find you as well. We talk of this subject quite a lot in our “Soul Mate Connections” series. If you want to learn more, this is another wonderful information source you can explore.
Alana appreciates your question. It is one that many do ponder. Alana is happy to share these words because I feel that when we move into the now, our resources are readily available. Thank you, dear one.
