live in the moment more often

So I started Yoga for the first time…one thing that I learned in my first class is that Yoga teaches you how to live in the moment…live in your body for that second and not think about the past or future…just now. I never really though much about the amount of time I spent thinking about the past and worrying about the future until this time…Id say 90% of my life was spent past or future….Day by day im trying to do this…ill update on my progress!

I have lived a life largely filled with worry and concern, predicting that bad things will happen. I didn’t even know about mindfulness- that I could just be, and that it feels so calming- and that it is what life really is about. I refuse to be a rat in the rat race. Heading toward what? It’s so nice to know at least what I want- now I need to settle in and enjoy more often.

Seeing this goal on my list whenever I visit 43T has made me more aware of living in the moment. I used to operate on ‘autopilot’ quite a lot without realizing it. Multi-tasking and rushing through things also interfered with living in the moment.

I am ‘in the moment’ more often lately, and catch myself when I’m drifting out of it, so I am marking this goal as done, although it’s an ongoing thing.

‘Present moment, wonderful moment’.

I have finally decided to live in the moment. Life is just a series of moments in which we do things and interact with others. Attempting to actually be there, experience, listen, and love what you are presently doing, no matter what is extremely challenging.
