Sorry. What was that? I'd just drifted off.

I used to be very good at it when I was practicing meditation and now I forget! Still practice but often forget. Stupid eh!

I just joined and am browsing. This caught my attention because I am old and the moment, right now is what I have. Oh, my health is fairly good and I have an excellent medical team to guide me.

Life can be brutal, disappointing and cruel but it can also be joyful, loving and beautiful. I love life and enjoy it but today is all any of us have. My advice to others is embrace life, hold it close because we only have one chance to live so do not waste it.

I used to constantly worry and fret about the future and everything that was happening and then about 3 years ago I got really sick and tried to die and I've spent the last three years working my way out of a wheelchair I'm almost in complete remission and I have learned that the past and the future or both Illusions and that all I have is this moment right now and I will not allow myself to think about anything other than what I'm doing at this moment as the old saying goes learn from the past plan for the future but live for today

I don't think I know how anymore. I used to. I don't know how I've lost that. I think too much anymore maybe.

Can't change yesterday. Living in the past denies yourself a future, live in the now. I have too much to be doing to look back. ?

depends on my mental health when its stable yeah i do

Me as much as possible

Meditation rocks, it's helped me w a few injuries, PTSD.

What are your triggers/reminders to be in the moment?

How is it possible to live in the moment? The moment the moment is realized it not a moment. It's the past.

I tried living in the moment once... but the moment passed.

I have a hard time living in the moment and controlling my thoughts and focus, although it's something I'm working hard on. I want to be more aware of the world around me and learn to spend more time in the now. My problems with mental health often hinder me in these goals, but I try to stay optimistic.

I find my awareness fluctuates, even just when I try to stay aware of the body I seem to drift off after a while. Being aware of the mind and of the emotions is more difficult, and I’ve never yet had a moment where I could be aware of all three. But then that is what meditation is for.

I don't wan to sound weird but I don't think I have the capacity not to do that - Its possibly because I have D.I.D - I don't know but I just seem to live seamlessly without thought - I get immersed in what I am doing and that is all there is, like just picking out weeds or watering and my head doesn't seem to run around needing entertainment - I have friends who are the opposite so I understand and not sure which of us is luckier

I have been doing this most of my adult life. I don't plan much procrastinate as much as possible and just do the best I can to have fun today.
Tomorrow always takes care of itself

What do you call "work"?
