In The Present

by on 28. Jul, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration

How often are you truly living in the present?  Do you live in the past, rehashing events, situations, reliving hurts, and the way things were?  Do you live in the future with your hopes, dreams, and plans?  Our past and our future are both important parts of us.  Too many times though we live in the past or the future more than we do in the present.

Do any of these sound familiar?

*If only I hadn’t gained weight…..
*If only I had made the decision of …..
*When I lose weight, I’ll ………
*Tomorrow (or Monday, or next month, or next year), I’ll be at the weight of …..

Are you living in the past or the future to the extent that you cheat yourself of the present (gift) of the present?  Make the very most of today. 

At the end of every day, write down three things about your day that you enjoyed or made you happy.  For today, focus on the present of the present!
