Soaking in all the moments

i used to (and still do) freak out so bad thinking about the future and whatnot, but i have found that if i make myself focus on the present moment, i am almost instantly calmed. AND, this forces you to savor the time you are currently in so you’ll hopefully remember it better. i try and notice little details in the moment because that’s what will bring me back to the memory easiest later on. i think you just kinda have to remember that there’s only so much you can actually control with the passage of time (that being how you choose to experience the present moment), and what you can’t control will eventually work itself out if you let it.

it creeps up on you

i think settling into your life is a feeling that creeps up on you. as someone who struggles with being present, i need to constantly practise gratitude or even my dream life kinda passes me by. i think it's human nature to be constantly looking for the next best thing, but it takes a lot of awareness to realize you've already made it on so many facets. thinking about my younger self and the pride they'd feel looking at present me is grounding and brings me lots of perspective.

creating artifacts of yourself

Videos. Journals. Planners. Calendars. Playlists. Spreadsheets. Letters to open in the future. Keeping track of the present (in a way that is low stakes and fun) keeps me from dwelling on the past or feeling upset about changing. It will be there for me if and when I want to return to it! And I get to dip into the things I have thought and felt and loved in the past and maybe they become part of my life again or they don't! I also love to experiment with form in the ways that I record myself. Journals are a classic, but doing something like journaling in a planner with limited space or on a calendar means you have to pick just one memory from each day. Or making playlists / watchlists / reading lists of what's important to you at a time. Embarking upon fun little challenges of discovery (places, songs, books, movies, foods) and keeping track of what you learn in an organized (or disorganized) way! Video journals or little vlogs just for yourself! Scrapbooking! Fun in the moment to create and fun in the future to rediscover.
