Live in the present moment

Been doing a lot of thinking about thinking lately and realizing that my thoughts tend to focus on past wrongs/regrets or some future awful events that probably will never come to pass. My Goal is to catch myself in these moments and focus on the moment.

Too often I feel like yesterday brings me down, and tomorrow is preoccupying my mind today…. I need to calm down and live more for today!

Life is too short… Let me live for the present moment!

the key to anxiety and despair reduction is revealed to be staying in the present moment.

Forget yesterday. Forget tomorrow.

There is only today.

Live for it.

Living in the present moment and not getting iritated by the traffic noise is hard, it naturally makes me cringe and then sends my mind off in a spin, it reminds me of all kinds of things that I am frustrated with, but I am slowly learning each time to come back to the present time, with calm words of just now in my mind.

that when I am really enjoying something, I want to capture it and make it last forever, or at least be able to recreate it/experience it again. But thats not really enjoying the moment, is it? No – because enjoying the moment is all about being fully IN it, not thinking of the future, or how I want this to happen again and again…then Im not fully present. It takes away from the beauty of the moment.

and time and time and time again, I realize that living in the present moment, really experiencing and enjoying it, is THE key to happiness~

I thought I have gotten past this tendency of dwelling in the past but now that I have a new life in a new place and with a new family I often find myself how my life was. I don’t want to miss on the blessings I am enjoying now so I would like to remind myself everyday that I should live i the present moment and enjoy it!

FORGIVENESS OFFERS EVERYTHING I WANT!

the only way i really feel ok is when i live in the present moment. i am going thru a lot of stress over a seperation from my husband…and if i start to think of all the shit he ahs done, or wondering what he is doing or wish this or wish that i start to unravel! BUT when i live in the present and only think of what is going on with me right now i am fine and feel good. i need 2 do this more!

This goal takes continuous practice. It is so easy to slip into the habitual thinking about the past or future. But life is experienced in the here in the now; the present moment is all we truly have, and if we miss it, we’re missing life, really~

A continued struggle, but I’m there.
