Week Ten - Staying in the Moment

Staying in the moment means not thinking about the past or the future. 

• Have you tried it? 
• Can you do it? 

Each day this week choose 5 minutes where you sit and 'stay in the moment'. When you are done, journal about what you experienced? Ask yourself if it was pleasant? hard or easy? if you had resistance? were you consistent? etc.

Week Nine - What if the disasters of your life were really part of your plan?

Take a look at the following quote. 

"Often, we get so hung up on trying to figure out what we did wrong, that we never stop to consider that what we may be viewing as a disaster is, in fact, exactly the right and most appropriate thing that could be happening at that particular moment. The job we lost, the marriage that just broke up, even the partner we may have lost to a dreadful disease or accident.. any one - and, in fact, all - of these events were part of our plan."  Steve Rother

What if the most difficult things in your life were actually part of your plan?

Write the most difficult thing that has happened in the last 5 years.

Now, even if it seems ridiculous to you, pretend it's true that you planned it and write a new version from that perspective. This assignment can be done several times or you can add to whatever you realize additionally as the week goes on.
