Living in the now

I was watching one of the famous talks online a few days ago. The speaker put into words exactly what I was feeling at the beginning when everyone said ‘you are gonna be ok, everything will go well…’ before I even had all the facts.
‘When we push aside normal emotions to embrace false positivity, we lose our capacity to develop skills to deal with the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.’
I don’t need any false positivity, no one does! I’ll only believe it’s over when my doctors say it is. Until then I ‘ll try to learn how to live in the now. Something I’ve never done before… since I was the kind of person that was mostly worrying and planning for the future!

To live in the now means to stop and notice everything around you. It’s autumn…a season I’ve learned to love after moving to Sweden actually. I love the colours and the fact that they change so fast. They even match my ‘hair’ now!

I would complain about the rain but that’s not so ‘mindful’. So I enjoy the sunny days more and try to make the most out of the rainy days anyway 🙂

Just take a break and look around!
