The point is to love and accept what is in the present, the ongoing manifestation of yourself. It's to be fully mindful in the present. If you are thinking about what was, you are probably vacillating between what was and what is.

Think of the feeling as a flower that is blooming. While its expression changes its root is the same. So just accept and love your experience *JUST THE WAY IT IS*.

If you're vacillating, love and accept that.

If you acquire the skill of being in the moment and accepting what is, the initial expression will come along and you can say hello to it and appreciate it in the moment without thoughts of the past or future, shoulds and shouldn'ts taking you away from the moment.

It's not to re-anything. It's to appreciate the power of your experience, your manifesting in the now.
