Living in the moment is what some people do everyday. It’s not being wild and reckless, but a technique where you learn to enjoy what is happening in your life right now this instant. When you are in this mindset you aren’t worried about things that happened to you in the past or things that will happen in the future. Instead your focus is on the right now. This allows you to just appreciate what is happening in your life now, absorbing the moment and getting emersed in the things happening around you. This is how people learn to appreciate real beauty such as art, nature, emotions, possessions, friends, and all the information you receive from your senses.
This little secret is how you can have lots of fun every moment of every day. Have you ever been so sucked into something that you lost track of time. Especially if it was something you were really enjoying. When that happens you are so focused on what is going on around you that you don’t worry about the future or think about the past. There is a certain feeling you feel when you are living in the moment, almost like a moment of clarity. This is brought on by a certain mindset which allows you the freedom from stress, anxiety, or any other distraction in daily life.
Getting into this mindset as often as possible is what you want to obtain. The benefits from doing this are amazing. When you get into this mode you can lower your stress and anxiety levels easily. How you ask? Anxiety is caused from worrying too much about what might happen. When you live in the moment you lose awareness with what might happen in the future and only focus on whats currently happening. By doing this you can’t have anxiety its impossible. Same thing applies to your stress. When you truly live in the moment you won’t be thinking of things that are going to happen. This keeps you stress level at a minimum.
Life is short and there isn’t any good reason for wasting even 1 second of time. Think about all of the time worrying about something that might happen. If you have done everything you can let it go. You can’t benefit from worrying or stressing about your life. Some things you don’t have control over and you need to just let them flow their course. Chances are things won’t be as bad as you think they will be and by worrying about them you spend your quality time on useless frustrations.
These are just some of the reasons to live in the moment. There are many more ways this will help you. You will just have to try to see for yourself.

Switch focus from touch to smell and try your hardest to keep your mind clear. Whatever you do when practicing living in the moment try to stay away from thinking in the past or worrying about the future.When you live in the past or worry about the future you are doing yourself an injustice. You are only causing yourself more problems and not helping to fix anything. The past is done and over with. Learn your lesson and move on. As far as the future is concerned there is some planning that needs to be done, but for the most part think of it once make your decision and move on. Constant worrying about something you have done your best at or is out of your control won’t make anything better. It will only make your life more miserable.
Find things that really suck you in to keep yourself distracted while starting out. Either pick up a hobby or do an activity where you lose time when you do. Once you start keep going and stay busy. When your done with one activity immediately start another one. Don’t rush through things just to get done slow down and enjoy it. An example would be like a good book. Don’t read it all in one night then you have nothing else to read later. Slow down your reading and enjoy your book. Make it last you for several nights and possibly even read it a second time.
Live your life, don’t just be a drone trying to make it from one day to the next. Start out small and work your way up. You can do this with a little patience and perseverance.
