Seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll use myself as an example. I\u2019m anxious<\/strong> about supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Am I currently<\/em> experiencing any real deprivation? Well, no. I just had breakfast and a nice cup of coffee. My fridge has many days of meals in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right now, in this moment, the thing that sucks is the worrying, not what I am actually experiencing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What I am actually experiencing is a full stomach, a tasty cup of coffee, a comfortable chair, and time writing. I like<\/em> all of those things and find them pleasant to experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am not trying to say that it is easy <\/em>to pull yourself back to the moment.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t.\u00a0 It\u2019s tough<\/strong>.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying that if you\u2019re in distress and worrying, it\u2019s All Your Fault for Being Lazy.\u00a0 I. Am. Not.\u00a0 I have been worrying a lot <\/strong>and then pulling myself back to the present every time I think about things I\u2019m scared of unless there\u2019s an action I genuinely need to take.\u00a0 It\u2019s a process and a practice, and I think it\u2019s worth doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Could things go all to hell? Yes. Absolutely. I won\u2019t face it any better from being tied up in knots about it. In fact, it would be kind of a shame to waste the days of safety and comfort I am actually experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want a tool that\u2019s a good practice for this sort of focus, you could check out my free Minimalist Bullet Journal Course<\/a>. It\u2019s practical and hands-on, requiring no skills or equipment but some paper and the ability to read and write. For all that I\u2019m high tech, this low tech solution focuses your mind wonderfully on the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Few ACTUAL MOMENTS suck. It\u2019s what you\u2019re thinking about that sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bullet-journal"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/0414191458-e1586435260936.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2943"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2954,"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions\/2954"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BuJo-Cover-scaled.jpg?fit=525%2C374\")
