Stop trying to “BE PRESENT” all the time

There’s a sense in some versions of self help & personal growth that your aim should be to “BE PRESENT” all the time.
I see the concept creeping in to the world of recovery as well.
I think it’s not only not achievable but misunderstands the nature of the brain.
To keep you safe your brain needs to dwell in the past & anticipate your future.
Learn to be more present. Sure. It’s a useful skill.
But also learn to use your past & present to help you.
Master the past, present & future.
