Being Present

In this episode we discuss the art of being present, being in the "now".  We discuss during the time of depression and/or anxiety, one of the commonalities is depression is linked to being in the past and anxiety has its roots in the future.  If we can come into the present, both lessen either or see that they are a part of a mental stirring that creates a false narrative.  Tools to become present are breathing or a pattern of something you can use to disrupt the path to both the future and the path to the past.  In one case we talk about the example of flicking a rubber band on your wrist to bring you to the present.  You can, as a lot of the current gurus chat about, develop a routine in the morning or a patterning throughout the day that draws us back to the present moment.  Tasks can also help, having a list of things to do so our brain doesn't flow as easily to the future or the past.  Remember fear a main distractor of the present.  Knowing where the fear comes from is a huge tool in dealing with it.  We'll dive into that in a future episode.
