Summary
On this episode of "Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses something we all continue to fight for: staying present so life doesn’t pass us by. With every passing year, life seems to move faster and faster. We don’t want to wake up one day and feel like life completely passed us by, like we spent the one life we get to live focusing on the things that truly don’t matter. So today Tommy is sharing the very specific (and realistic) habits he does to stay grounded in the present and fully experience life as it’s happening. This conversation is for anyone who wants to slow down, let go of what doesn’t matter, and start appreciating the one life we get to live.

| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:05.4 | Hey guys, welcome to Tommy Talk. |
| 0:07.9 | And today's topic is don't let life pass you by. |
| 0:12.0 | Being present is so important to being a happier human being. |
| 0:18.3 | And I was thinking about this topic because I feel like time is flying by, |
| 0:21.7 | you guys. Do you feel me? Do you feel like time is flying by? I guess I measure big milestones in my |
| 0:27.5 | life and I'm celebrating 10 years married to my husband this month. 10 years. Boom, done, gone in a flash. |
| 0:37.0 | How did that happen? How did that happen? How has 10 years gone by? I |
| 0:40.9 | remember my wedding like it was yesterday. And I remember planning for my wedding like it was yesterday. |
| 0:46.1 | I cannot believe that 10 years ago I walked down the aisle and said yes and everything that followed |
| 0:52.7 | happened. My honeymoon in Bali Bali all the things it's like |
| 0:55.2 | wait a minute how how how i was looking at my camera roll and seeing all these memories pop up and i got so |
| 1:01.5 | nostalgic i am totally the guy that will shed a tear looking at memories not because i'm sad |
| 1:07.4 | because i have such tremendous nostalgia and they mean everything to me. I'm a very |
| 1:10.9 | sentimental person and I don't know. It's like the years are starting to feel like days and I always |
| 1:17.8 | heard as you continue to go through this life, it moves faster and faster and faster compared to when |
| 1:22.4 | you're a kid. And I don't want life to pass me by. I want to live every damn moment, every damn moment to the max, because I am so grateful to be here. I truly am. I say it every single day in my morning prayers. Like, I am grateful to be here and thank you for choosing me to be here because I don't take this life for granted. And I think it feels so fast because it's, I don't know, maybe we're living in autopilot. The days blur together and you realize you're just kind of going through the motions, wake up, work, repeat. And maybe you're not really in the days. You're just going through what you have to get done, like a checklist. So I don't know. I guess I want to live life. And the goal isn't to cram more in necessarily. It's just about |
| 2:02.2 | experiencing more of what's already happening, aka being present. It's a fight. I fight every single |
| 2:10.7 | day, every day because there are going to be things that take you out of the present left |
| 2:14.5 | and right. Largely our phones, which I'm starting to have more |
