Do a Day: How to Live in the Present with Bryan Falchuk
Today’s show is all about how to live in the present. We always hear people talking about it, but how exactly is it done?
Most of us hold onto shame, guilt, and feelings of unworthiness from yesterday. At the same time, we feel constant anxiety when we think about what tomorrow might bring. This ruins any chance of making today a great day and keeps us in a state of fear that negatively effects our relationships at home and at work.
Bryan Falchuk is a life coach, TEDx speaker, and the bestselling author of Do a Day: How to Live a Better Life Every Day. He’s going to give us a formula to help us live in the present moment by confronting our past and removing anxiety about the future. Today is a new day. Go out and do it!
If you have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, you’re pissing on the present.
