Being in the Now!
The future can wait and the past is history!
Listen here
We live our lives in the fast lane and unable to slow down, often spoiling the “now” and focusing on the controllable!
Being in the “now” has numerous benefits, including…
- Increased Relaxation – you experience a greater sense of calmness when you are only focused in the now.
- Clarity – when you are calm and relaxed, your senses have a sharp edge to them. You focus and have greater clarity, aiding decision making.
- Acceptance – when you are fully present in the moment, you tend to accept things more easily instead of fighting them.
- Effectiveness – your ability to handle things more effectively increases when you are able to see things with clarity and accept them for what they are
- A sense of being – being in the present also allows you to be more alive. When we are living in the past or future, we are living an imagined moment. However, being in the now is all what life is about.
