Look at a child who is skipping and you will see someone whose attention is in the moment and who does not have a care in the world. They skip to express joy. But at some point, the skipping stops. So when did you stop skipping?
Skipping is a real activity, but we can think of it as a metaphor. So you may not skip, but do you smile a lot, or do you have that “everything is fine” feeling often? Because many people are under stress today, it is more likely that you are clenching your jaw than smiling. Next time you are feeling stressed, and your body feels tight, get clear.
What will allow you to either mentally or physically skip again?
Work on changing your mind!
Just be in the present and realize that you are a being who is independent of the current situation. What you are experiencing is temporary, even if it seems like it has been forever, or that it will go on forever.
As a spiritual being, you know better. Life is transient. This present moment is melting into the past, and the future is just a millisecond away.
