Now I’m Dancing with My Kids

I’ve been experimenting with NOW.
I’m prone to living in THEN or SOON.
I’m prone to being very much out of the moment.

So, yesterday I found myself driving down the street saying,
“Now I’m driving down the street.”
And then I took a deep breath.
And I felt better.

The rest of the day went something like this:
“Now I’m grocery shopping.”
Deep breath.
Softening.

“Now I’m checking my email.”
Deep breath.
Feeling of well being.

“Now I’m eating lunch.”
Deep breath.
This is nice.

“Now I’m dancing with my kids.”
Deep breath.
“Wow and I’m actually just dancing and having fun.”

“Now I’m folding towels.”
Deep breath.
They’re warm.

“Now I’m lying in bed.”
Deep breath.
This feels good.

It’s crazy simple.
And maybe no one else needs this quite the way I do.
But I’m finding it kind of mind blowing and lovely.

Try it.
(Not every 10 seconds — but every now and then).
Give it 24 hours.
Let me know what you think.

Now I’m sending Big Love.
Deep breath.
