To understand this expression better, you’ll want to close your eyes and remember a past moment in time when you felt happy or joyful. Enjoy that memory while you choose to do a touch n’ go* in that past moment.
Was it that time you achieved your goal, earned an award, watched an event, were on a team that won a game or championship or was it when you were amazed by something your child did?
Whenever your thinkin’ is stinkin’, this is another way to break the chain of thought, while you stop, look & remember the good times.
*touch ‘n go means to only spend a few seconds on the memory and then go on.
I’m reminded of this expression when something unexpected occurs in my life and I want to live by choice for a while.
When you choose to be in the moment you
become more aware & alert while you StoP, LooK & thINK, observe or discover, which helps you make more informed choices when you could use them.
