graphic print – Live In The Present

Monday, October 21, 2013 Leave a Comment

 

I am truly a person that is always looking to the future – planning what is next – setting new goals.  But what about the present?!  We tend to forget about the moment we are living in RIGHT NOW – don’t we?!

 

Live In The Present Quote | Mama Miss #quotelove #thefuture #freeprintable #beautiful

 

I feel like in my twenties I was always like “I can’t wait to find THEE ONE”, and then when I found “the one” I was always wondering when we were going to get hitched and have babies (ha-ha it doesn’t help when our families are also mentioning these things at EVERY. WAKING. MOMENT. either).  And then when I was planning my wedding and working 2 full-time jobs – my back gave out – OWIE – I was wondering when normalcy would happen again…waiting.  And then the next 4 years we moved 4 times (for my job & then his), had two pregnancies, two births & two babies, I had two surgeries (back & gallbladder)…and then I was DEFINITELY always wondering about the future & when “normal” was going to make it’s appearance again – lol!  I could hear myself saying, man, can’t things, just be, just be and stand still for a moment.

Well, offer it up to another “shower epiphany” to make me think about this.  But it made me think that I was ALWAYS wondering when things would be “normal” again, and when we would be settled already & in some kind of routine.

And then it dawned on me…





Lo and behold, that time was now!  There was no neon sign telling me these things.  I was definitely not living in today – I was still looking to the future (I’m not a past dweller – just a future worrier).  Thank goodness for shower epiphanies!

This needs to change!  These little monkeys are growing waaaaay too fast for my liking & I need to enjoy now, in the present.  Not tomorrow, not ten years from now – RIGHT NOW!

The future will happen, it will, whether I like it or not (or whether I’m ready or not I should say :) but I am going to try to change how I see today!

I am enjoying the present, what is right in front of me, from here on out!

Don’t cry over the past, it’s gone.

Don’t stress about the future, it hasn’t arrived.

Live in the present and make it beautiful.

 

How will you change today to live in the present?!

Car doodles in Procreate while waiting for V in ba Car doodles in Procreate while waiting for V in ballet tonight. 

As a creative, I often forget to take the time to just intentionally sit and draw, just to draw, with no clear path in mind.  To let the pen lead me in a direction. 

I don’t know who she is… she was just in my head ✍🏻🌼🌸
{V said she looks like if Frida had a daughter} 🤔😆🤷🏼‍♀️

It felt good tho - really really good - to just draw.

✔️Me Time Goal: be more intentional with loose, process based, no rules, creative time.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
