5. Make the most of today.
There’s a rather coarse saying, “A person who has one foot in the future and one in the past is p*ssing on the present.”
But this saying has a point: What is going on right now?
Rather than worrying about your next appointment as you walk down the street, pick your head up and look around you. Sniff the air (even if it’s not great), hear the sounds (birdsong is lovely, car horns not so much), look at your surroundings.
Even when those not-so-pleasant things are true, noticing — in and of itself, without trying to fight your reactions — puts you in touch with that lonely part of yourself. Noticing your own reactions can make you feel “full of yourself,” in a wonderful way.
When you do notice something wonderful (that rack of Christmas trees in December — they smell heavenly! Or, look! A rainbow!), savor it. Put it in a special place in your memory.
You won’t be happy all the time, but that’s just life.
