Lovelies,
Anyone else find that they really struggle to stay present? I super do. It’s not an all the time thing but many days I find I mentally want to check out or just stare at a screen and I need to force myself back into the present moment. I think since we are taking a break from trying and aren’t persuing the FET yet I want to try to spend all my time being enveloped in the little family unit that we already have.I need to focus in on where we are and who we are, right in this moment. Get outside. Enjoy the summer and be PRESENT. This time is limited and I don’t want to miss anything! Off I go to try. One day at a time. Hell, even one hour at a time!

Yeah, I easily fall into a stupor. For me, it has a lot to do with my physical energy level: it’s really hard to feel present if I’m tired or unwell.
Turtle,
That adds to it for sure. Being a SAHM I find i used social media as an excuse to connect with the outside world… but I think it’s more than not just that, an excuse.

Yea I find this hard sometimes. I often find my mind wandering and doing things on auto pilot rather than being present.
Dubliner,
I feel like the ability to do that is good but it’s just as important to refocus on the present. There is something called Karma meditation where every act becomes a meditative practice. Like even washing dishes… I liek that idea of mindfulness and attention to your life task by task. Though I find it nearly impossible to live like that.
