Hey,
I am so glad you are here today.
You chose to love yourself.
Mm-hmm.
I am Cheryl J.
I like to put an O-Y at the end of that.
I am affirming my joy.
And I'm sharing it with you today.
I am a mental health therapist and I have been so for well over a decade.
I love to love.
So.
.
.
Today.
I am talking to you about reclaiming your present moment.
VR.
You know.
Sometimes we get stuck in the past.
What was,
What should have been,
What happened,
What I didn't do right,
And,
You know,
All the things that we can do.
To make ourself feel really bad.
And then we get caught up in tomorrow,
The future.
Even.
.
.
A couple of minutes have hit.
We go racing thoughts crazy.
Sometimes as soon as we wake up,
We're off.
What do I have to do today?
Who do I have to meet?
Did I take the food out on time?
Where am I going to pick up the kids from?
Who's doing that?
Meeting at work?
Have to take someone to the doctor today?
All of life's The man come rushing in.
As soon as we wake up.
And you know what?
Win!
We have that path.
Regrets just running around in our mind and then we have the future things that's to come.
What's happening?
To the present.
Moment.
We're missing it.
And let me tell you guys,
That's where we live.
We live in the now.
We live right now.
But will I?
Past and the future to rob us.
So I want to help you to get that back.
And to keep it.
Okay?
All right.
So.
Have you ever just driven in your vehicle and you just driving and maybe your GPS was set for a specific destination and then you realize,
Oh,
I'm not going there.
Oh my God.
And you make a turn.
To go to the desired destination?
What happens next?
What do you hear?
From your GPS.
Recalculating Recalculating.
Yes!
Your GPS says,
Hey,
You told me we were going here,
And now you just made this sudden move,
And now we have to recalculate.
Yeah.
Guess what?
That's exactly what I want you to do with your thoughts.
When they are racing,
There are thoughts about the things that's before you,
And it's going so fast that you can't get a handle of yourself right now.
I want you to say,
Recalculating.
Because you're telling your brain,
Girl.
Or mail.
We're not going there right now.
We're not doing that right now because right now I am here doing what needs to be done.
And I want to stay here.
I want to enjoy this moment.
I want to be here.
So I am reclaiming my present moment.
Yes!
That's what I want you to do.
And when you do that,
You can regain clarity.
Peace.
And we're adding a little joy in there too.
Because now you're like,
OK,
I got this.
I'm good.
Yes.
That's what I want for you.
And also.
.
.
When your body is feeling like it's racing inside,
Heart palpitations,
Maybe headaches.
Some of the anxiety symptoms,
Irritable bowel syndrome,
Sweaty palms.
Mm-hmm,
That happens.
When you feeling that in your body.
I need you to do this.
Inhale for four seconds,
Hold it for six seconds,
And take a long breath out.
For eight.
Let's do that.
Inhale.
Hold it!
Really?
Yes.
Again,
You are reclaiming your body.
That breath is so important and you have it with you always,
As long as you're here.
Inhale for four,
Hold it for seven,
Release it for eight.
When you do that several times,
You now gain calm.
Clarity,
And you tell your nervous system.
I'm good.
I got this!
I'll take care of it when I need to.
Hold on.
Step back.
I'm OK.
Yeah.
I want you to know that you are good.
And that you can and you will handle whatever it is before you when you get there.
But right now,
I want you to get used to living now.
In the moment.
And doing it how you choose to do so.
Instead of your brain going crazy and thoughts all high-wired and all the.
.
.
Panic.
No,
We're not moving like that.
We're not doing it like that any longer.
You have two tools.
I would love for you to use them.
Recalculating Taking your power back.
And your breath.
Getting back to calm,
Getting grounded.
And trusting in you.
Anxiety is about fear.
And a lack of trust.
And you.
And I know that with these tools,
You will regain your trust.
Because you know.
Then you take care of it.
You always do.
You won't stop now.
So how about we just enjoy the process?
Of what we're doing.
That would give you abundance.
Now.
You deserve that.
Please give that to you.
And.
.
.
Send me a message and let me know how it's working for you.
I know if you use the tools,
They will,
But I want to hear from you.
So drop me a message and let me know.
And I'll be happy to cheer you on.
Cause I want you to love you.
And I am Cheryl J.
And I'll talk to you later.
