Let’s be present. Presence means neither regretting the past nor worrying about the future. It means not trying to control things. It means accepting what’s true now, declaring what (if anything) we want to be true, being open insights and inspirations, then acting with appropriate speed on those insights and inspirations.
But why bother? Learning to do this is really hard. Our habits are so well ingrained.
Because life becomes easier the more we are present. Regret, worry, and control demand lots of energy that we could better use for achieving what we want.
In your corner,
Mike
PS: Yes, this even works if your habit or preference has been to jump right into action.
