Lifes quick and it can pass you by in a flash. Blink and you will miss it. Days. Weeks. Months. There goes another year.
.
Being more aware. Being more present. For me provides a peace. A calm in the storm that can be life.
.
Practicing being in the now. What are we doing this moment. Concentrate and appreciate. Its what I try to teach. Try to pass onto all my athletes. All my swimmers. Focus on intentions for the immediate future. Dial your emotions into the next few seconds.
.
Looking too forward can cause fear. Fear is debilitating. Fear causes panic. Fear is discomfort. Fear is unease. The unknown. The yet to be written..Fear!!!.
.
To take control of the future you have to make decisions based upon where you are now not where you think you may be in say 10 days time. Projecting your feelings and emotions into the future is impossible. I don’t have a crystal ball. I don’t have a pack of Tarot cards. But one thing I do know and that’s what is happening this instant. This next second. That’s all I have to deal with right now so that makes things much more managable.
.
Trying to deal with all lifes problems at once. Thats no good. Take a breath. Relax. You never know an intuitive thought or action will come in. Try to force it and you will crash and burn.
.
Safe swimming folks. Pop your goggles on. Put your head back and just feel the now. MH🤗
