I'm not sure I really have any concrete advice for really *changing* your personality, other than to make a real effort to be reflective and aware of whether I'm trying to live in tomorrow or live in today. I have been able to still my mind in yoga and I found it helpful when my instructor said it's not about quashing all thought, but more about being aware when you are thinking and not being in the present, acknowledging it to yourself, and then letting it go. And when I find myself feeling anxious or overwhelmed, I allow myself to escape. I go to a coffee shop, or go get a beer or a massage, and just sit with myself for a while until I calm down. I guess if you find yourself stuck on a speed or in a rut you don't want to be in, maybe see if you can find a way that works for you to break free of it, even if it's just with your mind.Jade @ Tasting Gracehttp://jadekeller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469769641341081396.post-47587251110914932242011-10-14T14:03:04.364+02:002011-10-14T14:03:04.364+02:00I could have written this post myself - I'm so...I could have written this post myself - I'm so similar! I'm always worrying about the next thing (for me, the next goal is "buy a house") so I think I often miss out on just "being" and enjoying life. I look at my daughter and see how fast she's growing, I don't want to look back and think I missed enjoying it all because I was too busy obsessing about the next thing on my "to do" list. It's hard though, I don't think you can entirely change your mindset, some people are just tuned that way. At least we get things done though (most of the time!).Mother's Always Righthttp://mothersalwaysright.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469769641341081396.post-2096861961319184592011-10-13T19:01:41.097+02:002011-10-13T19:01:41.097+02:00I can relate to these feelings.

But I never actually do it.
