Depending upon the inner work we’ve done or not done, our mind can play terrible tricks on us. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It can have us replaying old and outdated stories on even the happiest days. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It could have us bringing up sad memories of the past or projecting anxieties about the future. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And our mind doesn’t take a break. It will do this story recycling over and over again - even on our happiest of moments. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today, on my son’s graduation, I was determined to not let fears of the future or painful times of the past steal my present day joy. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I did that by returning to the present moment where everything was peaceful. Beautiful. Happy. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And the moment was oh-so-worthy of celebration. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My mind and its crazy thoughts and related emotions didn’t get to hijack anything. NOTHING! Showing me - once again - that I had done the work, am doing the work, and I have the right tools. Friends, this is the work. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What tools are you using to be fully in your moments and stay connected to your joy? Tell me below! 👇🏽😊❤️⁣⁣

In presence and gratitude,⁣⁣
