Give up the 'I'll be happy when....'

Big Peace December Day 17 

How did your meditation go? How does it feel to observe your
thoughts rather than being in them?

Today, we're going to be focussing on the present.

We are giving up on the future and are going to work with what
we've got right now.

Let's work on the theory that there is no 'there' - there is only now.

Forget about the future making you happy - work out what can make
you happy right now.

Stop setting 'I'll be happy when ...' goals and focus on what you
can do right now in the present to feel more peaceful today.

Set a goal by all means but only if you are going to enjoy working
towards it today. 

-> Want to write a book? Buy a notebook and write a paragraph today.

-> Want to lose weight? Get a pen and write down 3 x 10 minute
   activities you can add into your day today.

-> Feeling overwhelmed? Start somewhere - even if it's just the
   washing up or sending one email.

What can you do or think about differently that can help you feel
more peaceful in the here and now - enjoying the journey rather
than waiting 'til you've reached the destination? 

I'm off to the Planet Positive party tonight. www.planet-positive.org

My wonderful client Steve Malkin is a visionary and downright fabulous and has created a brilliant way we can all save the world. www.planet-positive.org. Join the community and become Planet Positive.

He has invited me and a few of my favourite people to the party tonight. I invited all you good Big Peace people to join me - and there's a little group of us going along so if you're free between 6-9pm tonight 17th December, do join us and come and raise a peaceful glass of wine and learn how to be superhero and save the world. A grand night out, I hope.

I would love to have come along to the Planet Positive Party with you all tonight but I live in the north east of England and a 600 mile trip is a bit much :-) I'll be there in spirit and hope it all goes well for Steve. Have a wonderful time for those who can make it.
