Dear Loving People,
To live in the moment or now, means being conscious, aware and in the present
with all of your senses. It means not dwelling on the past, nor being anxious or
worrying about the future. When we concentrate our attention on the present we
focus on the task at hand. We give our full attention to what we are doing and
we let go of outcomes.
Live like there’s
no tomorrow. Live as if you’ll die today. You here this said over and over
but the fact is that Living in the moment takes practice. When you learn how to
live this way, you will lead a fuller life and appreciate the beauty in every
activity every second of the day.
Focus on the now
and savor the present; Pay
attention to the small things in order to cultivate
more positive experiences; Smile
in order to influence how you feel; Perform random acts of kindness that
help others and help you live for the moment of making others smile; Give thanks in order to
feel grateful and express that gratitude; Don’t worry in order that
you are not taken out of the moment and transported
into the realm of future possibilities because it's impossible to live in the
moment and worry at the same time.
Henry David Thoreau puts it beautifully
as follows “You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your
eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look
toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
In
1994, Michael J. Fox began to accept Parkinson’s disease and live in and enjoy
the moment. “Yesterday’s losses and tomorrow’s trials were no longer the only poles
of my existence,” he writes in Lucky Man.
