I resolve to live in the moment in 2010

Filed Under Dealing With Stress, The way I see it 

peace towerIt hardly seems possible.  School starts back on Monday.  The two weeks of the Christmas holidays have just flown by.  I’ve enjoyed not having my week days defined by the ringing  of  bells every 75 minutes.  I got caught up on my reading by listening to ebooks (sneaky eh!), and I finally got to watch all three seasons of The Tudors thanks to my iPod.  I took it along with me whenever I anticipated having to spend time waiting.  The hour and a half wait at the Doctors office last week just flew by as a watched the downfall of Anne Boleyn.  My blood pressure was just where it should be.  What a wonderful way to bring history to life.  I’m not sure how accurate the TV program is,  but it certainly is  engaging.  Too bad there’s so much adult content. I could never show The Tudors to a class unless they put out a heavily censored version.

These last two weeks, I’ve been practicing  just living in the moment,  not worry about what happened in the past or worrying about what might happen in the future- like Monday  morning at school, like exams in three weeks, like the EQAO math test my students will write, like report cards at the end of January , like my next MEd course that starts on Tuesday , like…..As you can see, I still have some work to do about the ” not worry about the future” part of living in the moment.  I need some hints.  Has anyone found a way that works for them.  I think living in the moment would help keep things in perspective and reduce the stress load immensely. I’d really appreciate any advice.  Living in the moment is my one and only new year’s resolution.
