Stop doing it now and start valuing your life by making the right decision to bring you forward to happiness and fulfillment.
Do you ever catch yourself stuck in the past or lost in future plans? Kendell Boysen, a seasoned life and recovery coach, has some refreshing advice for you: live in the now. In this episode of 'Encouragementology', Kendell dives into the art of being present and how it can transform your life.
She tackles the common habit of rehashing old memories or constantly planning ahead, and how these tendencies can rob us of the joy and fulfillment found in the present moment. Kendell explains that our minds often operate in three time zones: past, present, and future. While it's crucial to learn from past experiences and plan for what's ahead, she emphasizes that true happiness lies in savoring the present.
This episode is packed with practical tips on how to shift your focus to the now, making each moment count. One standout topic Kendell covers is the difference between introspection and rumination. She highlights that while introspection can enrich our current experiences with nostalgia and sentimentality, rumination can trap us in a cycle of negative thoughts, preventing us from enjoying the present.
Kendell encourages listeners to recognize when they're ruminating and gently guide their attention back to the here and now. Another key takeaway from this episode is the importance of cutting yourself some slack. Kendell suggests incorporating moments of relaxation into your day to recharge and refocus. By giving yourself permission to pause, you can approach your daily tasks with renewed energy and clarity. Kendell also touches on the value of hard work in achieving success.
She reminds us that behind every success story is a lot of effort and perseverance. Her message is clear: stay focused, stay positive, and keep pushing towards your dreams, but don't forget to enjoy the journey along the way. This episode of 'Encouragementology' is a gentle reminder to be present, appreciate the now, and find balance in our busy lives. Whether you're struggling with past regrets or future anxieties, Kendell's insights offer a path to greater happiness and fulfillment.
