I have to admit it&#8217;s easier said than done, but there are 3 things that are helping me do it. </p>
<p>1. I am no longer listening to the repetitive fear mongering of the media. I have turned off the news and listen to no more than one news report a day. Sometimes I don&#8217;t listen to any, and you know what? I haven&#8217;t missed anything important.</p>
<p>2. I have meditated now for 25 years, and most meditation practice is about staying present in the moment, opening the heart and staying connected to source. Even 5 minutes of observing the breathe has a way of bringing you right back into the present moment.</p>
<p>3. I remind myself throughout the day that for today everything is fine. I will say that having Heidi here to remind me of that helps a lot, because for today she is fine.</p>
<p>What helps you stay in the present moment? </p>
