Teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, and many others talk about the importance of staying in the moment because NOW is all there really is. And while I agree, it’s not always easy to do.

Lately, I’ve been focussed more on the future, planning where I’ll be traveling/living next and considering various business ideas. And then there are times when the past creeps in, with memories I treasure and a few I’d rather forget. It can be a challenge to be present in the present. Do you find that, too?

I’ve just finished the recording for week 3 of my Summon Your Desire course, where I’m sharing wisdom from The Soul Collective. Even though I’ve been listening to my heart, tuning into the messages from my Soul and The Soul Collective, and putting what I’ve learned into practice for quite a while now (and it’s changed my life), I’m still a student. I’m reminded of the importance of noticing where I am — past, present, or future — and why awareness of your thoughts is vital to creating a life you love.

When you’re in the NOW moment, you can notice all the good that is already in your life.

You realize that what you’re really looking for when you envision your future is already right in front of you. Doing so helps you notice many other ways that life is working out for you, here and now. Suddenly, worries drop away. Confusion disappears. Regrets are nonexistent. You realize you’re being supported. So if that can happen in the present, why wouldn’t it happen in the future (which will be your present when you get there)?

As you grow and expand into the next level of your life or embark on a new chapter, you’ll come up against old patterns of thought, dredge up past regrets, and worry about a future you cannot see. (Maybe you’re in that turmoil right now.)

Give this practice a try:

Tune into your heart, come into the moment, and notice the presents that are present when you’re present.

Heartful happiness can be found NOW.

Connecting with my heart reunited me with my Soul’s voice. What began as brief Love Notes From Your Soul gradually became longer and more profound. Love letters, you might say. Each message offers a higher perspective and helps me let go of fears and limiting beliefs to create a life beyond what I once dreamed possible. Now I want to share this wisdom with you so you, too, can shift from worry, doubt, and regret and feel the freedom and joy of a heart-led, soul-aligned life.
