Making a conscious effort to live for the right now moment allows you to think calmly and with clarity. This keeps you free from the stresses of life....With a little effort this is a worthwhile habit to form. The art of mindfulness or living for right now isn't easy but is achievable.
With so many distractions such as fears, frustrations, worry and stress, it is difficult to cope with what is going on around us. However once you become accustomed to your new habit, you will wonder how you ever lived any other way.
These steps will help you to achieve the right now moment thinking...........
1) Meditate. Focus on breathing, releasing your thoughts as you exhale. Meditation is the art of living Right now, accepting things as they are. Blocking out or allowing distractions to wash over you. Practicing these things will help make a quieter mind, which is of the very importance.
2) You cannot change the Past, you must accept that it has been and is Gone. Sooner you accept past situations, you will feel better about yourself. Don't dwell on things you cannot change. It is so much harder to concentrate on the right now moment, when the past is clouding your thinking. Clear your mind. You will be able to face the right now moment without grief or regret.
3) Accept the future with open arms. None of us know what the future holds. Relax and accept what the universe offers, it is going to happen anyway!
4) Be mindful, even the most practical chores should be done with an open mind. Being mindful ensures you pay close attention to what you are doing in the present. Open your senses to what you are doing, you will be overwhelmed with an abundance of positive feelings you didn't realize you were capable of.
5) Get in touch with nature. As the old saying goes "Stop and Smell the Roses". You can go for a walk for just enjoy the fresh outdoors. Always remember you must take the time to Relax. In maintaining a relaxed attitude, you will achieve conscious living if you keep trying.
