“Forgetfulness goes hand in hand with lack of presence.” Thank you so much for this! Wow

[johnmcmullen]

I enjoy hiking in the mountains. I often find myself bounding along on the trail lost in thought unable to enjoy the wilderness. I created a new discipline. When I find myself lost in thought, I stop in my tracks, take several deep breaths and look around, smell the air, listen to the wind in the trees, the birds and turn around in my tracks looking up and down, all around. Then I take a moment and go macro, and focus on something small, then look deeper and study a plant, an insect or pattern on a rock. Its a very powerful way to train yourself to get into the moment.

I find it so hard to stop the overthinking! I know how important it is to be 'conscious' and be in the present moment, but I can't seem to stop the idea that the overthinking is going to protect me as it helps me prepare for all eventualities.

[originalone]

It’s easy for me to become conscious when by myself but when I’m dealing with situation where things are confrontational and triggering I automatically become unconscious and begin to feel reactive

Critical video. Wow. This is really what it’s all about. Thank you so much for this

[icidaimon]

I have been wondering this myself. I think I’m doing the work when sometimes all I do is get stuck in my head… Thank you 🙏🏽💛

[shirley]

I watched this 6 minute video twice. Because I'm over thinking. The second time I only got distracted once. Wow! Thank you Nicole. It is 100 % correct when I am over thinking. I'm feeling. I'm making those stories, making me feel sad, angry ... Playing them over and over. I should say this... I should have done that ... I bet they did this or think that ! I am setting an alarm for the next 7 days. Thank you 🙏

Our thoughts are the only thing we truly have control over. It is so important to be conscious and take control of our thoughts so that we can avoid overthinking and not living fully. GREAT video, thanks for sharing!

[misbeltz]

Now I'm wondering if my forgetfulness is actually a lack of consciousness. This is great to hear! Now I can start making progress.

[chancepoulos]

This one is huge!! Thank you. I’ve honestly mistaken overthinking for consciousness at times when I’m analyzing myself, my thoughts, and my behaviors. It feels so productive but in the end still keeps me detached from the present moment. I also didn’t realize I was practicing consciousness when doing that attention redirect (I find myself almost constantly lost in thought so it’s quite necessary for me to yank myself out when things need to get done, also heavilyy relate to the forgetfulness), but that’s some good motivation to keep practicing it right there knowing that I’m cultivating consciousness!! Thanks Dr. Nicole, much love ❤️

I have forgotten most of my childhood good memories and the good memories of my adult life.. most of the bad memories are there to remember..earlier I didn't have any explanation for that to myself. I used to think I am weird and the odd one out because everybody I knew remembered small details of childhood or high school days.. watching your videos and posts I am aware now why it happens to me.. thanks a lot for the explanation.

[Юлия-тци]

you totally called me out when you said to redirect attention to this video haha
as i was lost in thoughts at that exact moment

[piapurificacion]

Thank you. I have been "over-thinking" the past and what could be in the future that I end up being reactive with the emotions that comes with these thoughts. Which in turn leads me to neglect the present moment. I then forget to check in with my emotion and other's emotions. I am still very new to learning in this self healing journey. Thank you. I'm so glad I found you.

[satisfyhelter-skelter]

Your insights are just amazing!
You, and your videos, have been one of the biggest healing turning points for me, always helping tremendously.
Thank U 💚🌞

[TheAnnegallien]

Merci Nicole for those short videos. Next is about intuition and thinking
Taking decisions over intuition rather than taking decisions over fear.

I'm just starting this practice. I realized and learned about this earlier today.

Mindful Reminders! Been doing this for a few months now. So eye opening!❤️

[bethanybriggs]

This was wonderul 😍 thank you so much!!

[Deelitee]

I don’t know how to STICK with this bc I’ve tried and I keep getting looped back into the old thoughts. I wonder if I should do a recovery program but then… I will still have to live it when I leave 😵‍💫 I guess that’s where I need a coach or something… idk. But, I do KNOW how grateful for your voice, Dr. LePera!!!! ❤
