My friends would get so frustrated with me, because if they wanted to see me on the weekends, they'd have to make plans 6 weeks in advance. It took many years of recovery to get to where I am today. I still plan plenty of things well into the future, but I leave lots of room to make shorter-term plans, too. Plus, young children make it virtually impossible to be completely firm on any plans until you actually show up to the event! =D<br /><br />I used to be super zen when I played piano - I had to focus just enough that I didn't have any extra capacity to think of anything else. I cannot wait until we live in a single family home with enough room for a piano - I most definitely plan to pick it up again after 20+ years of not playing!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440611076746008551.post-15039045844516704312014-04-06T22:46:52.507-07:002014-04-06T22:46:52.507-07:00Hooray that you helped me start thinking about thi...Hooray that you helped me start thinking about this and be more cognizant of my fascination with the future! :)Melissa Marishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216312159880277204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440611076746008551.post-27592555333838001112014-04-06T22:46:14.504-07:002014-04-06T22:46:14.504-07:00Good answer. :)Good answer. :)Melissa Marishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216312159880277204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440611076746008551.post-56470984817907388562014-04-03T19:02:36.289-07:002014-04-03T19:02:36.289-07:00Loved this!

Now you can generalize it to other situations. I really appreciate how you point out that we're probably all already doing this in some instances. It's not some foreign or arduous task to start being mindful when you can find the places you're doing it already.
