Staying in the moment is very important, but does it get to the point where you are too immersed in the moment? One of my downfalls is keeping in contact with people. I don't necessarily burn bridges, but let them slowly fall into disrepair. This is not done mindfully, I just get so wrapped up in what I am doing that the time goes by without talking.
I accept this as who I am, but still want to make an effort to improve this, especially being that we will live in another province in a couple years or so. I don't wish to lose the friendships I have developed over the past few years in kung fu. Not to mention my relationship with my family.
So my question is, how do you do it? I could start off slow, the odd email or text message to just let my friends know I am still alive. Taking that first step after a long time is scary for some reason. How will the people I haven't maintained contact with react? I could justify it by thinking that they also have not reached out to me, but that is the easy way out.
I will figure it out eventually. This is not something I want to stress over as stress will only make it worse. I just need to take that first baby step.
