Remote Control Living

Imagine a remote control device that is used to direct your life.  With this device you could go back to times past or skip to future scenes.  You could pull up information about life episodes and even have the capability to put settings in your life menu that would program the life you want.  You could select OK to live in the present, rather than skip from the past to the future.  I bet by now you are thinking that would be awesome, then you could really have the life you want! 

The truth is you already have the mechanism to control where and how you want to live.  It's inside you.  A client recently told me that at the end of a month she realizes that she can't remember any of the days that made up that month.  She wants to grab her life back!

Who is in charge of your life remote control? Do you leave your remote out for others to use?  Is someone else pushing your buttons?   Are you ruminating over past hurts?  Are you living in some desired future?

Saner Living is about self-choice and self-control.  It's about living in the present.  The good news is that you can live more sanely.  A good first step is to breathe deeply and focus on what you want.  Make this a daily practice.
