How to Live in the Moment — For the Girl Who’s Trying
Nikita JaisinghaniFeeling Scattered? Same.
Lately, I’ve felt all over the place — overthinking, jumping from one thing to another, never really experiencing any of it. Everything feels urgent, and yet I’m missing the moment right in front of me.
So here’s what I’m learning (starting small, starting now):
✨ Notice Where You Are
When I start spiraling or feeling disconnected, I pause and ask:
- Where am I right now?
- What can I see, hear, or feel?
It’s grounding. It brings me out of my head and back into the room — back into life.
🕯 Light a Candle — and Actually Watch It
I pick a scent that feels like me — maybe something soft like Chamomile, or earthy like Into the Woods. Then I light it and just…watch the flame.
No phone. No noise. Just the flicker. It becomes my anchor — something real to come back to when my thoughts wander.
The Aurappy 3-Wick Candle has been my recent go-to. Hand-poured, organic, non-toxic, and made with pure soy — it's not just a scent, it’s an experience.

🌬 Breathe Like You Mean It
Nothing fancy. Just…intentional.
Inhale for 4. Hold for 4. Exhale for 6.
Repeat. A few times. That’s it.
It tells my body: You’re safe. Right now, you’re okay.
🎯 Let One Thing Matter
Multitasking isn’t a flex. I choose one tiny thing — brushing my hair, making tea, lighting that candle — and I give it my full attention.
One thing. No rushing. No checking. Just being here with it.
It’s weirdly…sacred.
🧘♀️ You Don’t Have to Fix Everything Today
No perfect routine. No five-year plan. No “figuring it all out.”
Just this moment. Even if it’s quiet, boring, or a little messy.
I still spiral. I still get distracted. But I’m learning to try.
And honestly? Trying is the most present thing we can do.
💬 If you’re a girl who’s trying — even a little — that’s more than enough.
Light your candle. Breathe. Let the moment be enough.
