Experiencing What Is

Personal experiences from the past that reappear in your life. How do you handle the emotions?
I had a personal experience which had me contemplating why the past appears at the most random moments of a persons life. It can be at the best and and worst of times. I even thought of all the emotions that a person experiences when those memories appear.
Can you think of a memory that recently appeared in your life?
Today, I picked up Getting Real: Ten Truth Skills You Need to Live an Authentic Life by PH.D. Susan Campbell off my desk as I made my out the door to go to the gym this morning. Irrelevant information, but when I got to the gym I hopped on the bike but then realized that my rear was sore from the previous days workout, so instead I hopped on the elliptical. Reason why I shared that was to remind you to listen to your body. Nevertheless, once I got moving I dove into the book. No more than ten minutes I came across this passage:
“When I use the words what is, I am referring to whatever is actually going on in the present moment — in your body, in your mind, and in your environment. By noticing and feeling what is, you learn to distinguish between what you actually experience in your body and emotions from what your minds thinks, judges, expects, or believes should be happening. This practice will help you communicate about your current reality more accurately and honestly. It will keep you connected to the energy of being alive, thereby training you not to depend so much on external results, such as what others think of you, for your sense of well-being.”
With that recent experience in your mind, how were you being?
