🌿 The Past Is in Your Head, the Future Is in Your Hands

Hey all!

As you may know (or maybe not 😊), I work out most mornings—or at the very least, I walk the dogs. It’s my way to get moving, get my blood flowing, and start the day with positive energy.

During a workout the other day, Autumn Calabrese said something that really stuck with me:

“The past is in your head, but the future is in your hands.”

And then, right on the heels of that, she added:

“What you aren’t changing, you are choosing.”

BAM. Such truth, right? I literally said out loud, YES!

I’m all about making positive changes and getting out of our own way. At the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, we learned that the past is just a present moment that has already happened, and the future is a present moment that hasn’t happened yet.

I’ve always been a bit of a ruminator—a worrier. What if this? What if that? Lately, I’ve been working hard to stay grounded in the present. Honestly, it’s not easy! For me, it’s much harder than saying no to processed food and yes to foods that truly nourish your body, mind, and spirit (yep—had to throw that in there 😉 Eat real food. It supports every part of YOU).

My goal right now is simple: pay attention and be thankful for what’s happening today.

Just last week, I went out with my girls to celebrate my oldest’s birthday. We had sushi and matcha at this cute new spot in Covington, then grabbed gelato—so good! 🍣🍵🍨 Walking around, laughing, talking… just being together was such a gift.

It reminded me: don’t wish these moments away by worrying about tomorrow or replaying yesterday.

When I catch myself drifting into that negative headspace, I turn to meditation and breathwork—both powerful tools to bring your focus (and energy) back to the present.
