How I Learnt to Live Now!






I didn’t want to be a prisoner anymore.



Then, I had an epiphany…





It helped me so much.

Seize the day, as the say.

  1. Lauren, Congratulations on accomplishing living in the present. I still haven’t learned but am trying to. Maybe by the time I go to my next life I will have learned. This is a great triumph for you Lauren. With my love, Ellen


  2. Nice piece of writing Lauren…the romance of being in the moment to calm the mind. You took me there with your words.


  3. Beautiful post! So, so true! I struggle with anxiety on a daily basis. It helps when I try to find the beauty in nature and the small joys in life. I have stopped looking to the future and wishing away time. Every day should be appreciated and lived to the fullest. I’m glad you are having a wonderful time in England. Best to you and your family.


  4. Thank you for this post Lauren, this is exactly what I needed to hear right now. I’m living outside of the UK now too and will be for the next few years and have been feeling quite homesick missing things that I could do in the UK but not here!! But your epiphany is so true, we should be grateful for where we are right now and appreciate the opportunity we have to be part of and experience a new and different culture. This doesn’t mean that missing home is not allowed but we can’t let it consume us!! Thank you x


    • Thank you so much, Jo! ❤
      You are so right! It's not healthy to repress our feelings. We need to accept them, feel them and then try and live our current situation to it's full potential ❤
      Lots of love xx


  5. You even don’t know how much I understand you Lauren…
    India is my home now and I’m very happy here but sometimes longing is so strong, that’s why soon we are going to Poland charge my batteries and show my hubby beautiful of my country ❤
    Glad that you found way to appreciate life! 🙂


  6. Dear Lauren: I love reading your posts. I love the way you are aware of the present moment and take pleasure in the details of life. Many blessings to you and your family. Keep spreading your cheer. Sree


  7. Wow. I absolutely LOVED this. This is something that everyone should practice, even those that don’t suffer from chronic depression and/or anxiety. It was very interesting to me when you said that doing things out of your comfort zone reduced the anxiety a bit. You would think it’s the other way around. There can be so many misconceptions that in psychology end up being the opposite for a better outcome. Some things are not obvious.
    Anyway, I do love this perspective. Being grateful for what we have can really help us feel happier in a day to day life. Noticing and being grateful for the little things is more effective than people would think.
    Regret is another terrible thing. I like your approach.
    Great post, Lauren.


  8. I had never commented on your blog posts before, but recently I have read all your posts and most of the things you faced when you firstly moved to India is what I am facing now.
    I am living in India for 6 months, trying to get married with the man of my life, and many things have been very difficult for me, mainly the lack of personal space, which I highly apreciate to have.
    When I read your words I feel peace, you have a way with words, reading about your experience is helping me to go through my own difficults here.
    Thank you so much


    • Thank you so much for commenting, Heloisa ❤
      It will get easier, especially if you and your husband try to help everyone understand your concept of personal space ❤

      Best of luck with your marriage!

      Sending lots of love and hugs ❤
