Creating the Life We Want
Actively engaging in our lives through Ikigai
Though we may not be able to predict the future, if we actively engage with our lives, we can participate in its creation.
This isn’t about goals or being focused on the future.
Getting too absorbed in the future (or too burdened by the past) takes us out of the only moment we have, the present.
🌿 Concentrate on what you could do right now that will be good no matter what the future brings.
🌱 Go on adventures.
🌱 Create something
🌱 Learn a new skill
🌱 Make new friends
🌱 Be curious & open to possibilities
These kinds of things will help whatever the future holds.
🌀What one thing will you do today to make an active move toward the creation of the life you want?
I am actively making it a point to put myself out there and make new friends. With that said, I can tell that there is much internal resistance when it comes to possibilities in general. I feel quite closed off. As though I’m really limiting myself. Like I’m already saying no before even getting into the arena.
I agree and feel we are the creators of our lives. I like to practice yoga, meditation, and walking barefoot in the grass to the ground in the present! I practice being mindful about the words I speak, what I say yes to ( where I give my energy) Love your daily insights! Thank you!
