"Living In The Moment"

"LIVING IN THE MOMENT"
 

 

 

Take the time and think about the last time you really lived in the moment. Most of us cannot.

The idea is to be present and conscious of what is happening in the now.

 But instead, our minds are racing on with the daily things and things to come. For example a few weeks ago I was asked to work on a pilot project. I was excited and had all these ideas and thoughts and could not wait to put them down on paper. Unfortunately when the time came for me to "jot" all this down, I was exhausted. Mentally! I had so many plans in my head for the future that I didn't stay focused on the now! The problem with the "now" is we do not live in it.

 

I often find myself rushing and trying to plan my week ahead. The only issue is I never complete all my task and find myself exhausted and disappointed. In so many ways I tell myself you need to learn to live in the moment. This time around, I do plan on living in the moment. I have decided to limit my activities and commitments to what works for my and my current schedule and lifestyle. If it doesn't fit the "NOW" plan, I will not do it.

Today I promise to "Live In The Moment".

 

 

 

Here are a few tips on how to "Live In The Moment"

 

1. Focus on the now

By focusing on the now, we live in the moment. Get in a quiet space, rest, relax and enjoy the moment.

 

2. De-Clutter

Getting rid of things that no longer serve you can truly help you live in the moment. Removing old items of your past can free you from holding onto to things that no longer serve you.

 

3. Appreciate the moments of today

Start each day with an affirmations and appreciation. Enjoy the moments of that day.

 

4. Smile

 This is something that we rarely do. SMILE! Each day is full of endless possibilities! Start it with a smile. After all it is contagious!

 

The list does go on. Be sure to share ways in which you live in the moment. What has worked for you? And what changes have you noticed since you began living in the moment.
