ONE-MINUTE WISDOM

Start observing your thought patterns and how they make you feel. Everything begins with your thoughts, ideas and intentions. The love you seek is seeing you. The peace you seek resides in you. The abundance you seek is already delivered in every moment.

LIVING IN THE PRESENT

Living in the present can be one of the most challenging tasks. The present can be considered the “right now”, not the past neither the future. Living in the present does not mean separating from your past or future. It does suggest that you integrate them into the now in a healthy productive way.

We all have regrets from the past. We all also have goals for the future. We can take our past and our hope for the future and let these elements help us make the most of the present. We cannot dwell on neither the past nor the hopes of the future and be in the present moment. But again we can let these aid us to make the most of the “now”.

DAILY EXERCISE Working with Living in the Present

Understand that living in the present does not mean ignoring your past regrets or disappointments; neither does it mean ignoring your hopes for the future. Start by making a list of your regrets and then make a list of your goals.

Now make a list of how you can use your regrets to help be in the present moment. Often times when we have regrets we simply were not living in the present. Fear became the greatest influencer and not in the present moment.

Make a decision that all your past regrets are now going to fuel you and live fully in the moment. Be aware of this. With this newfound understanding of your past commitment you can begin living in the present.
