Hi everyone,

Megan here from Libra Living Wellness Limited for the sixth video of Libra Living Liberations.

Today I want to talk about present moment,

Or being present in the moment.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and a lot of us,

It's a busy time,

I think it's a busy time of year for everyone,

Whether it's we're doing stuff,

Getting ready for Christmas,

Doing stuff at work,

Just normal things in our personal life,

Just getting ready for the holidays,

It's a busy time.

And something I've been thinking about,

Personally the past few years,

I feel like I wasn't really excited for Christmas,

Like just whatever I was going through at the time,

I just never felt super excited,

And this year I was like,

I want to be excited,

I feel excited,

I feel ready,

And I've really been kind of thinking about really being present,

And I was on a call a week ago and we were kind of talking about that,

You know,

The busyness of this time of year,

And people were like,

Okay,

I'll relax when this is done,

Or I'll relax when,

And then you kind of fill in the blank.

And for me,

My instant thought was like,

I'll relax now,

Right,

Like we were always go,

Go,

Go,

But kind of goes with my last video,

I talked about self-care and remembering to take time for yourself,

But yeah,

Getting back on track about being in the present moment,

I just,

I really encourage everyone to be present when you're spending time with family or friends this holiday season,

For Christmas,

Or whatever holiday you celebrate,

And also for the New Year's,

Just enjoy the time,

Don't worry or stress about,

Oh,

I gotta do this,

Oh,

I gotta cook this,

Oh,

We gotta go here,

But just really enjoy the present moment,

Like be in the moment and be grateful for being there with your loved ones or friends,

Whoever you're spending the holidays with,

And practice,

Again,

Gratitude for those moments in life,

Because a lot of times we let life pass us by,

And we don't stop to appreciate those moments,

And I don't know,

This year I've really been feeling that way,

And just because it's been a crazy year and a crazy journey for me this year,

It's really been something I've been reflecting on,

Is being in the present moment and really trying to take time to enjoy those special moments,

So I encourage everyone to do that,

To be present with everyone,

Put your phones away unless you're taking some great holiday pictures,

But be present with everyone that you're with,

Be grateful for that time,

And yeah,

I'm excited to do a video next week before the New Year,

So I wish everyone a happy holidays,

And until next time.
