The Now Step®- The solution to being mentally well.

January 27, 20232 min read

The solution:

I want you to imagine that right now you are standing on a step. The step has N-O-W written on it. Imagine that I come along with a big stamp with N-O-W written on it and stamp it to your feet.

You are now on The Now Step®

Agreed?

Take a moment just to imagine yourself firmly on The Now Step®

The problem is your mind doesn’t live on The Now Step®

You see the nature of your mind wants to take you into the past or the future.

When you step FORWARDS OFF The Now Step® into the future…….

 

  • 1 hour from now……..playing out the conversation you are about to have with your boss

  • 1 week from now…………..future projecting about what is going to go wrong with your party

  • 1 year from now…………..imagining worst case scenario about paying bills or about your children moving to University

 Fear and anxiety:

You are only ever going to feel worry, fear and ANXIETY.

Similarly when you step BACKWARDS OFF The Now Step® into the past……

 

  • 1 hour ago from now…………annoyed with yourself about the way you spoke to an employee

  • 1 week ago from now………….guilty about the screaming match with your teenager

  • 1 year ago from now………….upset replaying memories from a relationship that has broken down or about a family member you have lost

You are only ever going to feel sadness, regret, guilt and DEPRESSION.

 Emotions and feelings:

It’s the way your mind works. It’s the emotions and feelings you get when you are off The Now Step®

The Now Step® and present moment living is not our natural go to as human beings.

Our natural go to is future and past living.

Learn how:
