I work to remind myself to actually be aware of where my head is at. I have triggers that remind me to "be in the now" throughout the day. I love the way I am becoming more in control of my thoughts by doing this. Is there anyone else out there who does this? If so, what results have you had?
At my age, I live for today, for I have few tomorrows. But, in living in the moment, one must strive not to cram in a multitude of desires, but to learn to take that which comes joyfully and naturally and enjoy it -- as a connoisseur of fine brandy snifts the aroma and savors the bouquet.
That I learned almost 60 years ago when spending in a situation in which, if the situation deteriorated, I was told that a had a maximum of 48 hours to live.
There is nothing like the fear of death bring clarity the mind. I am happy that you are able "be in the now" and hope you continue cram in lots of desires. I merely desire continue living my glorious life and enjoying the smell of the coffee. Namaste with hugs
I try to live more in the moment. It's not natural for me, but I find when I can I feel less stressed.
practice makes perfect so they say... I use triggers remind me, like if I see a spotted dog, it reminds me, if I see a yellow vehicle, it reminds me, if I am washing my hands it reminds me, I add my list of triggers keep life interesting and challenging. Namaste with hugs
I believe I'm doing better at living in the moment after deciding earlier this year to make substantive life changes to live more happily. Also, having studied improv, I know how effective it is, at least in theory.
well congrats, and enjoy each new moment. Namaste with hugs
Sure..I meditate throughout the day to stay focused on the "now." Being on cannabis oil to treat cancer also helps, since it puts you in that zone naturally.
never tried it so will have take your word, but I get my buzz from being alive in the moment, and try do it a dozen slots a day, sometimes only 10 second slots, but it keeps me balanced and living a joyous existence so I will keep it up and keep enjoying what each new moment brings. Namaste with hugs
Not as much as I should. But when I do - it is too the full!
every bit helps, I try a dozen times a day and have triggers remind me. Namaste with hugs
That is the only thing in front of you and accesible... The Now.
it is indeed. Namaste with hugs
If I lose my health care I will be dead in 28 days. So I very much live in the moment...but I do have a goal... and what I want my life to change into.
It's good have goals, enjoy your moments and love the laughter. Namaste with hugs
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
