We often don’t really live our lives. We think about the past, or project ourselves into the future, and forget all about the present.
The present moment is the only thing that matters. The past is over, and the future hasn’t happened yet. You should perform each gesture in full awareness of that, at every moment.
That’s the way to calm the wandering of your mind and keep you anchored in the present moment.
When you walk, be aware you’re walking. Don’t think about anything else.
Be conscious of your breathing, and don’t think about anything else.
When you eat, be conscious that you’re eating. Don’t think about anything else.
When you’re out in Nature, take pleasure being in its presence. Don’t think about anything else.
And so on…
Slow down, walk more slowly, eat more slowly, breathe more slowly. Be as fully conscious as you can, in everything you do.
When you walk, be aware of each step.
When you breathe, be aware of each breath.
When you eat, be aware of each mouthful.
When you’re in Nature, become one with it.
If you’re fully conscious, your existence will become a chain of constructive thoughts, words and deeds that will lift you higher.
You’ll be able to stop asking yourself questions about the past and the future, and feel happy in your awareness, as you finally start living in the here-and-now.
