Prompt #7

Reread the beginning of Chapter 56, bottom of p 171, starting with "Here's what I caught myself..." to the end of the second paragraph on page 172, ending with "right where you actually are". Think of a place or a moment in your life when you struggle being where you are. Then, go into it. What happens? Why do you struggle? How can you try to "be present" the next time this happens?

I tend to let my mind wander a lot. I find myself thinking about other things that are happening or things that have happened. I replay different way conversations could have gone or different outcomes of situations. I have to pull myself back and remind my self that things are in the past and there is nothing I can change now. I have to remember that I have to live in the present and concentrate on what I have happening in my life now. It is just a matter of staying focused on who I am and what I am doing right now.
