What does it mean to take a flying leap? Sometimes I feel this is all I can do in some situations. Is this about taking risks? Sure, but I think it’s a little more than that.

Stay present and stop thinking

Spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle, speaks extensively about staying in the present moment and to learn to stop thinking. For instance, if we lose the present moment by thinking too much about the future, this can cause extreme frustration, stress, fear, and anxiety. He goes on to say that by not being in the present moment, we are not fulfilling our primary purpose which is the awareness of what we are doing in the present moment. If we are experiencing such emotions as fear, anxiety, stress, and frustration, we are trapped in thinking.
