How often do you find yourself asking, what’s next?
The minute you finish one task, or in some cases even before you finish the thing you’re working on, are you asking what’s next?
When does what’s next end?
What if instead of asking what’s next, you started asking, what’s now?
The reality is, that now is all there really is.
But if all you ever ask is what’s next, then you’ll never really get the opportunity to enjoy or really experience now.
Asking what’s now is one way to bring your attention back to the present moment. What’s now will allow you to appreciate, concentrate and focus on your task at hand. Even more important than the task your working on is if you’re in the presence of another person. They will feel your ability to present with them in the moment, because they will be at the center of your ‘what’s now.’
When you practice pausing throughout your day and asking yourself ‘what’s now,’ you might be surprised to find that asking the question will seem to make time expand. The reason for this is, when you continuously ask what’s next, you experience a sense of overwhelm, a feeling of too much to do and not enough time.
So now that you’re done reading this, you have a choice right now to ask yourself, what’s next or what’s now.
