What if I could be happy with what is right now?

I was laying in bed and couldn't sleep with worries on my mind. I did not want to have them and thought what a bad use of my mind this was. I thought what if I could be happy right now with what is going on? It felt kind of profound to me. Like how about at this moment, I decided I could be happy anyway rather than concerned?

It took me to a whole new slew of ideas. I thought of how we move from one thing to the other and even though things are really good, we concern about the next set of issues. Even with this moments issues, when is the moment to be happy? How long do I say now and rest? We usually only give ourselves a few moments for that true happy feeling then we are off to the next task. I felt good considering all the things I had to be happy for but was I really FEELING it? Really feeling that feeling down to my toes and nothing else? I took the moment to really do that! And how wonderful it is! To then spin out or extend on it so my body could be cozy fully with the happy feeling.

It transformed for in the moment and even now as I write,  I feel really happy and can i hold it? Hold it longer than a moment?  I could even keep coming back to it and allow it to be how I live? I live with many great moments each day and  do savor them but do I savor enough? Do I really feel happy? And if I don't am I really thinking this or that will get me to happiness rather than being there now?  Or is it that I am already where I could be happy right now? 

The mind wants to continually pull us out to this or that. The world situation or what someone said or if that doesn't work, whats my back up? Or how can I pull this off or what will I do tomorrow to get me to this or that? It is endless and I really feel in this moment, I am missing a whole lot of joy. Why can't I be happy right now? My mind could say well you have to figure this out. Or thats great for this moment but how about next week or what about expanding in your new community? It is like it creates problems or issues that aren't even there yet. Thinking ahead to prevent problems. I thought what a dramatic way to live! Always concerned for the next moment and the disaster that could befall so I will figure it out.

Suddenly tonight I thought, that is not a good plan. It would probably be a good question to ask myself daily and even throughout my day. What if I could be happy right now? I would relax. I would just quietly revel and enjoy the moment and perhaps even find things rolling smoother for myself. I wouldn't be prethinking through things in the same frequency if I was in the joy of the moment. I wouldn't worry as much for I would be busy appreciating what was. Counting the blessings. Daydreaming the good that could come or that I desired. It would be a whole different use of my mind.

As I layed there thinking about how happy I was in this moment with whatever problems or issues I have, a smile came through, a deep one. I decided to let anything that could take up my mind be let go and just be happy for all that was right now. It transformed my energy. It balanced me. It quieted me. It allowed me to call the day complete. It inspired me enough to get up and write about it. A deep smile inside from the innermost core of my being. Just happy for what is.

I hope to take this idea forward into the many tomorrows I have. When a worry or an idea of what to do next comes in just stop and say, yea but can I be happy anyway right now? Can I shift my energy to be happy even if that is? Can I settle myself into that quiet joy and let it go for a minute and focus on how happy I am? It brought in such a flavor of goodness and optimism about everything. I exhaled so deep. It took  away that vigilant part of me ready to solve and manage. it was a truly relaxing calm.

I thought I would share this with you for we all could ask that. There are many things we can attach to and be concerned or feel like we need to do something about. In fact our whole life could be one big slew of things, one after the other. I am not saying deny your feelings but definitely put them in perspective. Everything is not a dire emergency to get all riled up about. IN fact most things are not and we are just so wound in adrenal stress with the world state that we are going overboard! Try stopping for a moment and  be happy anyway and with whatever it is. Check it out!?  In that state, whatever we have an issue with is more likely to open the creative field to solve with out the incessant thinking. Just stoping the loop and settling the being, and being happy anyway. For most of the things will never occur. We can't think through every thing that could occur. We can appreciate all that occurs and then have a lot more happiness as we go through. 

Maybe this isn't as profound for you as for me. But tonight, I am going to be happy despite my concerns. I am going to feel the goodness for the 99% of the things handled, on track, in alignment and going well. I will just put off that 1% for a time. Really end my day with big enjoyment and maybe tomorrow when I wake up any issues will resolve of themselves. I think that is the way of magnetism. I win at it some times but I think I will go for winning at it more. Being happy with what is,  (acceptance), smoothly allows me to move in flow. In flow a whole new set of circumstances can come in just because I am in that appreciative more than that preparatory mode. We hear this all the time and now I will live it one more layer deeper.

I will keep you posted. And for now, be happy no matter where you are in this moment. There is always something good if not many things going on. Let the mind take a break from vigilance and allow the body to rest in goodness. It will thank you and you may find, the things solve without the vigilance. It sure feels good so I am going to ride it. 

Love and blessings as we ride through these very odd times.
