Living In The Present

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — melissa @ 6:46 am

To live in the moment can be very challenging.  Often we get caught up in our lives of running place to place, answering phone calls, checking emails and worrying about the past or future which causes us to lose focus on what is happening around us. 

Many of our thought patterns prevent us from being in the present and focusing on what is currently happening at the moment.  We are so busy that we find ourselves living without awareness and just going through the motions because we are so lost in our own thoughts.

Awareness means we are in the here and now becoming aware of everything that is happening at the present moment.  We are controlling our thoughts instead of letting them run on autopilot.  We are acting instead of reacting and funneling our negative thoughts and responses into the positive.  By being aware and staying in the present will allow us to focus on what is in front of us instead of what was behind us or what maybe in the future that is out of our control.

By focusing on the here in now we are not wasting our energy on what we have no control over.  We are not constantly thinking what if this happens or what if that happens.  We only look at the present and plan for the future.  This takes a lot of work to think this way but once you begin you will find your life becomes a lot less stressful and your mental state will be much calmer.

Stay in the present and focus on what is important the here and now.

Many blessings!
