Being more present, easier said than done!

Hello friends 😁!

The theme of today’s newsletter revolves around the importance of being present.

Easier said than done… because : 

«on average, people spend 47 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what is in front of them» 

 - The Practice Of Groundedness by Brad Stulberg 

Damn 😳

(I personally think this statistic is getting even higher with time)

When we strive to be everywhere and do everything, we tend to feel like we’re not fully experiencing anything 😔 …

Now, how to be more present? 

On my side, just remembering how important it is helps me redirect my attention to the present whenever I feel like my head is zoning out in the past or the future.

One step at a time, the more you remember this, the easier it will become to be in the present more often ❤️.

« When you are fully present you not only shape your experience of the now, but also shape your future. »

What are your strategies for becoming more grounded and present?

I might share some in a future newsletter so we can all benefit from them 🥰

On another note 👀 (…) 

Here's what I plan to share in the next two weeks on Happiness Library: 

• Review of Emotions, Happiness and The Story Of Our Lives, the book I have been reading in the past few weeks that has taught me a lot about myself!

• Some book recommendations to build your dream life 😎

• Review of Attitude Is Your Superpower

• A little photo dump of my life lately (with lots of flowers, books, coffees, and cats!)

• Review of Maktub, written by the successful author Paulo Coelho

Reply to this email with the post you are most excited about, and I’ll tell you when it’ll be online!
