Anxiety Part Six:  Enjoy the moment

It was in the winter of 2019, the 3rd of June, that we celebrated a friend’s birthday. It was on a Monday. It is such a challenge to celebrate and have a full-on birthday celebration on a Monday. Nevertheless, we had dinner with close friends. It was just amazing. Nothing like a group of friends who come together to celebrate the life of a loved one.

What was supposed to have been a simple dinner indoors, ended up being a full-on birthday celebration, with singing and it turned out to be a great night. The amazing thing is that though we were all aware of the day of the week it was, no one seemed bothered about work the following day because laughter and great vibes were the order of the night.

This takes me to how we often wonder and concern ourselves with the future and forget to live and be present in that moment that seems amazing (Yes, we should consider the future). Our worry of the future robs us of what the moment we should be extremely excited about and enjoying. How many times have you and I found ourselves thinking about things that may probably never happen and forgetting to be fully present in any moment of joy?

Have you ever found yourself in a place of safety and great joy yet wondering about what you should not be thinking about at that particular moment, and have what you are wondering about ending up ruining your moment of safety and great joy? And you later wonder what could have let you allow the other thought mess up your great moment. You and I need to note our thoughts when they wonder instead of enjoying every moment of greatness and subject them to enjoying the moment.

How have you and I zoned out of moments of good vibes to end up being in a place (mentally) that you did not intend on being at? How are we going to enjoy every moment that we are in? How have you managed to control your thoughts and steer them in the direction you want.
