How I Stopped Rushing Toward Tomorrow

For the past week, I’ve been skipping days—literally. I’d wake up unsure which day I was actually living. My daughter was flying in from the West Coast for Christmas the other day—or so I thought.


That morning, I woke up filled with excitement. As part of my daily ritual, I grabbed a gratitude card from the jar on my dresser to jot down what I was thankful for. This practice has been a grounding force for me since receiving a thoughtful gift from my coach—a beautiful gratitude jar with cards and a bold white pen. To bring more beauty to the gift and my daily ritual of gratitude, I ordered a rose gold and silver platter for the jar, cards and pen to rest. Some might say this was "extra" but EXTRA is what I do now because I have learned to enjoy all the 'feels" life is blessing me to experience. But back to my story...


I started to write about how grateful I was that my middle child was headed home “today.” Then it hit me like a lightning bolt: Today is Wednesday. I’d been so certain it was Thursday that I even picked up my phone to send her a message apologizing for not speaking to her the night before, as is our custom before travel. I had planned my day around her arrival, ready to track her flight, follow her progress on our family app, and pray for her safety.


But it wasn’t Thursday. It was Wednesday. That revelation left me stumped. Shook! What's up with my mind? My awareness?


A few days later, I thought Saturday was Sunday. That’s when I stopped and asked myself: "What's going on here?"


Normally this would have sent me into panic mode. I would've gotten all worried about my brain function, letting fear spiral. But this time, I got curious instead of anxious. "Why am I not living in today? Why am I rushing toward tomorrow?"


The Bible teaches us not to worry about tomorrow, for today has enough challenges of its own. I’ve read it many times. I also know that the present moment is all we truly have—the past is gone, and the future is imagined.


And yet, here I was—a transformational coach who teaches others to embrace the moment—skipping past the present.


The beauty of self-awareness is that it offers us a chance to pivot. I recognized the pattern and chose to create a new one, one that serves me better. I grounded myself and came back to this moment.


But why had I gotten off course? It was clear I needed to slow down. Between the whirlwind of holiday travels, family gatherings, business commitments, and the energy of the world around me—particularly the deep disappointment I felt after the presidential election—I was carrying too much. I needed to rest, decompress, and realign with my own rhythm.


So, I stopped. Rested, prayed, journaled, read, and watched uplifting videos that filled my soul. I allowed myself to pause, to breathe, and to fully be.


Because TODAY is the best day ever—not because it’s perfect, but because it’s here. Today is the day we get to impact in real time. The day we get to be that outrageously gorgeous, brilliant, phenomenal creation called ME!


Live Now and Enjoy today!!
