I think that most people have a tendency to overthink things, to think that everything that comes into their life is bad. This is why we get so caught up and anxious when we first wake up. We worry when the news comes on about how bad everything is and whether it’s going to be good or bad.
The very thing that makes our lives so stressful is the very thing that makes them so good. Of course, we can be overreacting to everything, but if we really want to do our best, we need to pause and think, we need to pause and reflect, we need to pause and listen to what works for us.
We don’t have to make our lives perfect. We don’t have to eliminate everything we ever did and say or did to make our life perfect. We can always choose to not do it.
That said, we do need to take breaks and take care of ourselves. We don’t have to be perfect all the time. We can always stop and take a breath. It’s easy to be so focused on our goals and dreams that we aren’t thinking about how we could be better. We can choose to choose to stop and choose how we will improve. That is how we can actually become better.
Yes, we can. But we’ll need to do it. Ive been telling people all the way back to my first article that we need to take our eyes off the goal and start focusing on what we have to do first.
The problem is that most people think that if they stop and take a breath they will be a better person. The problem is that in most cases they aren’t. The problem is that we tend to think that as long as we are in the moment we will be in the moment. The problem is that in most cases they arent in the moment at all.
When I was in college, the course we were taking taught us to meditate. Meditation is a practice where you focus your attention on what you are doing right now. It is a very, very, very simple practice, but one that has a big impact on your life. It is a practice that keeps you focused on the present moment. It keeps you focused on things that matter.
I’m not gonna lie- meditation is one of those things that I find hard to do. I think it is a bit of a self-imposed punishment for me. Usually you are in a place where you have to sit and just think about stuff. A lot of the time I find I just want to stay in that space and just do nothing. But in order to do that, you have to find how to shut out the distraction.
A lot of times you are stuck in a time loop and the feeling of not being able to do anything is a major thing. Usually it’s a feeling of not knowing how to relax, but more of a feeling that your body is doing something for you. For me, I find it hard to get caught up in whatever the moment is I’m working on.
My biggest problem with most time-travelling games is that the goal is to leave the time loop. So sometimes that means that you have to force your body to go somewhere; be a part of, do something. But it also means that you have to leave something behind, be it money, a memory, or a relationship. You have to force your body to go somewhere because otherwise you will just get stuck there.
