Living In The Now- Power Of Now!

By Danielle Marie Keogh


We are all so busy these days- having so much on our minds that it's almost incomprehensible to live in the present moment for some of us!!! We spend a lot of time dwelling in the past or stressing out about the future. We've grown accustomed to to the instant access/gratification to whatever we think may satisfy us or easy our productivity... ... The ability to accomplish many things at ones, often robs us of being able to enjoy life step by step. Multitasking is not always a happy, nice, or healthy place to be. Solution: Live in the now!

So, can certainly we become more present?

1) Create a goal.

2) Break it down into smaller pieces.

3) Work on it one small change at a time You want to start with making a list of all situations in which you can become more present.

Below are a handful examples:

a) Eating more slowly.

b) Not reading while eating.

c) Turning off your phone when you go to the movies or to a restaurant.

d) Not looking at Facebook, text messages, or e-mails while you are talking with someone else in person or on the phone.

e) Putting one single serving of potato chips into a bowl instead of going to a eat an entire bag!

f) Stopping to breathe when you're feeling stressed about something. Then, pick one idea from your list to adopt being a new habit and commit to practicing that new habit for the following a 3 week period. Whenever the a 3 week period are up, celebrate your success and pick another suggestion for the following 21 days-and so on.

If you attempt to do a lot of, too fast you're more likely to fail. When we slow down to create changes, focusing on one new habit at any given time, we'll accomplish a great deal more. Simply controlling a tiny bit by changing one habit per month your daily life will alter drastically over a year! This rule applies to any goal you desire to achieve, not just the goal of who live in the now.
