#loa for pinoy
So earlier today, I just felt the need to let go of everything I ever wished for and just start living and be OPEN to whatever comes. Life must be lived and you just have to go with the flow. I guess what makes our life so hard is our ability to grip on things too hard that it damages us.
I’ve already learned this from Life coaches such as Marie Forleo, such an inspiring woman helping each of us to create the business and life we love. To learn more about Marie Forleo click here to visit her website or better yet click hereto watch here video about the importance of being in the present moment.
Marie was named by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation and one of Inc’s 500 fastest growing companies of 2014.

One of the living legends, Thich Nhat Hanh (Monk), has also promoted the importance of being in the here and the now ( Click Here to watch his interview with Oprah )–*must WATCH, such a LIFE CHANGING video*
Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is a global spiritual leader, poet and peace activist, revered around the world for his powerful teachings and bestselling writings on mindfulness and peace. He is the man Martin Luther King called “An Apostle of peace and nonviolence.”
Here are the things I’ve learned for a short period of time while living in the present moment.
1. It takes out the WORRY for the FUTURE
Most of us have this fear of what the future holds and it makes you worry if you’re doing the right things to get to where you want to be. By living in the present moment, you tend to forget all of those worries and learn to appreciate things that you have now.
Instead of being scared of what is to come, you feel more open to it. You’re paradigm just shifted turning challenges into opportunities, fear into love, rejection into better choices, etc. This practice helps you to just do what you’re doing without any competition since this is a RACE against yourself after all.
2. Gratitude, Gratitude, Gratitude
Everything around you seems to brighten you up. You just feel so upbeat and blessed with whatever you have and by being grateful you send signals to the universe and IT responds by giving you more things to be grateful for. Isn’t that good news folks?!
3. You breathe more
Conscious breathing or just focusing on your breath flushes everything that’s in your mind. It releases muscle tension and it keeps you relaxed. The plus side to this is that it BOOSTS your metabolism since you put in more oxygen in your blood!! (source:http://www.womensperfectbody.com/fat-loss/lose-weight-by-proper-breathing/)
4. You’re more friendly
You suddenly have this instant connection with everyone and you just see the good in everyone as you walk by. This is just the same as seeing it through the eye of the SOURCE wherein you tend to love and accept yourself and doing likewise to others.
5. It opens doors for a BETTER YOU
With the mind being cleared up with those blocks, it then puts in new ideas in your head that will help you become the person you wish to be in the future. The universe know what you want, it’s that smart not to know it. So leave it all to whoever GOD you believe in and start living, be the best version of you at the very moment.
START LIVING NOW. Forget about those things that you’ve wished for and never worked out. You’re exactly in the right place at the right time, all you have to do is to let go. Be open to whatever happens and react to it in a POSITIVE way. There are things we can never control outside of us so better fix what’s controllable, which is within.
I’ll leave you with these quotes that has resonated within me.
“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” - Charles R.
“What you resist, persist. What you fight you get more off” - Carl Jung
Have a good day Dreamers! :)
