don’t feel guilted into getting a moment back.
okay, so the moment has passed + you were occupied with something else that you felt needed your attention in that moment…
breathe + let it go.
there are other moments that you can give your undivided attention to,
other moments that can be impactful in your life + in the lives of others,
+ other moments to unapologetically enjoy + live in freely.
here’s the catch:
sulking over the missed moments will make you miss these moments, too.
struggling, by nature, is very cyclic.
however, we can choose to break this cycle + choose to be present in the moments that matter most — the moments of now.
the more + more we worry about missing out, the more we miss out.
be here today, fam.
forgive yourself of moments passed when you were mentally, physically, or emotionally at your bandwidth or withdrawn + experience joy in the present.
you have the opportunity today to accept that in the past, your worrying may have caused you to miss out; however now, you vow to be fully present in this moment.
yes — you have the opportunity today to change the course of your life.
+ it starts with you deciding to consciously + intentionally be present in this moment right here, right now.
be you, be dope!

journal prompt(s) for today:
countless times you’ve blamed yourself for not being present + missing important moments (FOMO (fear of missing out) as we sometimes call it).
write down a forgiving statement addressed to yourself. forgive yourself for not being present. forgive yourself for any ill feelings you are holding toward that past moment. give yourself permission to move forward in life; to not count the moments, but rather to make the moments count.
put it all on pen to pad, close your notebook/journal, + release the weight of that guilt.
