Addicted To The Weather Report

Some how I got addicted to the weather report again.

I wake up each morning and immediately look at the weather report for the day and for the week. And then lament or celebrate.

I've noticed everyone in Vancouver does the same, "enjoy this last sunny day because then it's going to rain for a week", people say to me.

But the thing I noticed is that the weather report is often wrong, it doesn't rain when they say it will or it's raining when they say it will be sunny. So my feeling of lament or celebration are waste of time.

So much energy expended on anticipating what's supposedly coming!

So I quit the weather report cold turkey.

Instead, I get up, open the curtains and look at the sky.

I can't believe what a huge difference it makes! How had a I forgotten?

I'm so much happier living more in the moment.

And that's the lesson isn't it?

To be present, not thinking so much about the future.

Not only in terms of the weather but in everything in life.

If you too are addicted to the weather report, I hope you'll try my look at the sky method instead.

And let's be more present in our lives.
