TIPS - Living in the Present
TO SPOT WHEN A SITUATION & HOW I LIVE IT ARE DIFFERENT
HOW TO KNOW FOR SURE WHEN I AM PRESENT
To assess whether I am doing this to myself, I need to check if what I am living inside does (or not!) match what is happening around me. Check whether the storm is solely inside me, or also around me.
Typically, if a situation requires everyone to panic, then everyone would panic - and not just me! Or similarly, everyone would be angry - not just me!
While reality is that I am in panic or angry, what is happening around me is not meant to trigger such a reaction. It seems real.... but it is solely happening in my own head, as I project my thoughts into what I live.
To catch whether I am anchored in reality or in my head, I need to look around me and see whether people react the same way I do. Is what I think a fact, or an opinion I have?
For instance, has the person said something, or do I think they meant something? If I am not 100% sure, then it is better to ask as it may well be happening in my head only!
When I am present I am neither in the past or in the future - as both result in losing contact with reality, plus most likely I then end up dialoguing with myself!
When I am present, my Ego is not in charge but in supporting mode. I am living what is happening here and now without projecting my thoughts into what is going on. I am not regretting what could have been. I am not anticipating what could be. I am not judging. I am just living the moment.
To be present, I accordingly
(1) put all my focus on what is going on around me. All the intellectual activity is to understand what is happening around me - not to interpret what is happening around me.
And (2) check how I feel throughout the conversation. This is no inner conversation: it is about connecting with my feelings, and making sure my reactions match with my emotions.
