Our society is so busy being reactive and judgemental about things that often the moment gets missed. Now....I'm not saying that all moments are wonderful. For example.....my computer died recently. : ( And computers, for me, are .....well.....not my favourite thing. (Getting stuck in traffic is often preferable! lol!!!) HOWEVER....I am aware of the fact that it's inevitable demise brought with it many, many good things. First of all, I was able to switch to a laptop so I can take it with me when I do presentations! Secondly, I got a Chromecast so I can play movies, tv shows and documentaries on my smart TV. Furthermore, I am learning new programs and systems as a result of the change. And while I hadn't really wanted this to jump to the top of the priority list, I am aware that all of this new learning is helping me to prevent Altzheimers. Also, I was conscious that this experience was providing me with excellent mindfulness training. It is easy to stay present to things that are enjoyable. It takes more self discipline and focus to stay present with things that don't come easily. So the next time you want to react and collapse into 'ain't it awful'......look for the lessons or benefits. That perspective might help you to get through the situation and support you to stay in the moment. And that's how we actually LIVE our lives.
