Live In The Moment

Live In The Moment

Live In The Moment.  Really?  Yesirrrrrrs we got to Live In The Moment.  BUT you might play devil's and challenge me:  WHY do some people are advised to look back on their past so they could pick up lessons from there?  Which, somehow is valid.  OR you might blurt out as we are often challenged to look towards the future, plot and plan things because that's our journey.  Oh, that's somehow valid again BUT all these are being taken with a misplaced context⏳⏳⏳

And on many scenarios, we ourselves are struggling with the present.  Either we are facing serious problems even as we speak OR life has just been too tough, you're looking forward to shove this present moment because of the very serious issues you're currently facing.  Oh, I can relate to that feeling, that feeling of 'escaping from your problems💎💎💎

To LIVE IN THE MOMENT, you need to FOCUS on the now.  FOCUS on what you're doing now.  Place your iPad/smart phones in airplane mode and power off your TV set and shutdown your laptop.  Slow down and savor the present.  LIVING IN THE MOMENT means we need to try practicing mindfulness to reduce stress, and as medical experts claim, we can hope that even our immune system will be boosted, giving us various physical and mental effects📌📌📌

Paying attention to details is also helpful.  Look around the world around you, including those small-small things.  Be thankful for them.  LIVING FOR THE MOMENT and taking notice of the small things will help us cultivate more positive eperiences.  Those little things could include like when you're eating ice cream, blowing bubbles or music-tripping✅✅✅

Oh, SMILE.  If you DON'T have friends to smile to, face the mirror and just smile.  Studies show that making an emotional face influences how we feel.  Studies show that there is an association in our mind between how we feel and how we react.  Our face communicates our state of mind to others and even to ourselves.  Lastly, DON'T WORRY.  It may sound harder than it sounds but remember worrying today WON'T change what happens tomorrow Every second you spend in worry is a second of the present wasted❗❗❗
