Living Now vs. Constant Prep | Alan Watts #alanwatts #powerofnow #trusttheprocess

From the earliest days of our upbringing, we find ourselves thrust into a world where every step seems to be about gearing up for the next big thing. Life becomes a series of preparations—school, career, family, retirement—all neatly laid out on a timeline. Alan Watts, in a thought-provoking video, challenges us to pause and question this societal norm. He pushes us to reevaluate our constant quest for the next milestone and prompts us to reflect on the importance of living in the now. It's a call to break free from the pervasive mindset of ceaseless preparation that dominates our cultural narrative.

Watts invites us to reconsider our daily routines and societal expectations, urging us to find beauty in the present rather than always striving for some distant goal. As we watch this video, it's like a mirror reflecting the reality we often overlook. It's not a grandiose call to arms, but a subtle nudge to take a closer look at our lives and consider whether the pursuit of future achievements should overshadow the simple joy of existing in the moment. The narrative unfolds as a relatable journey, inviting us to step off the treadmill of constant readiness and savor the authenticity of our current existence.

Why ‘inside serene’? The idea of ‘inside’ is to navigate and dig deeper into what can human change to accumulate serendipity of thoughts that will help us mentally sync to a healthier, better and more in control of our thoughts.

Being mentally fit means having the skills to handle stress, think clearly and make good decisions, communicate effectively, and regulate one's emotions in appropriate ways.

Let us join together on how to become responsible and highly engaged in building a community of good people. There are many ways to improve and maintain mental fitness, such as getting regular exercise, practising mindfulness, and seeking support from others. Inside Serene's goal is to build a community of mental support regardless of your colour or religion. We are ONE!

Practising self-care and self-love enables us to give back and love others. I need your support to clean our social environment of toxic people and become a more responsible content creator.


The power of words to control our emotions can be therapeutic to our mental health;
✅ “I'm here for you.”
✅ “You are not alone.”
✅ “You are worthy and deserving.”
✅ “You don't have to apologize.”
✅ “There is treatment available to you…”
✅ “You are strong!.”

" We must be willing to encounter darkness and despair when they come up and face them, over and over again if need be, without running away or numbing ourselves in the thousands of ways we conjure up to avoid the unavoidable". - By Jon Kabat-Zinn
