We are all so busy these days- having so much on our minds that it's almost incomprehensible to live in the present moment for some of us!!! We spend a lot of time dwelling in the past or stressing out about the future. We've grown accustomed to to the instant access/gratification to whatever we think may satisfy us or easy our productivity... ... The ability to accomplish many things at ones, often robs us of being able to enjoy life step by step. Multitasking is not always a happy, nice, or healthy place to be. Solution: Live in the now!
So, can certainly we become more present?
1) Create a goal.
2) Divide it into smaller pieces.
3) Work on it one small change at a time You want to start with making a list of all situations in which you can become more present.
Below are several examples:
a) Eating more slowly.
b) Not reading while eating.
c) Turning off your phone when you go to the movies or to a restaurant.
d) Not taking a look at Facebook, text messages, or e-mails while you're chatting with another guy in the flesh or on the phone.
e) Pouring a single serving of potato chips into a bowl rather than eating out of the bag.
f) Stopping to breathe when you're feeling stressed about something. Then, pick one idea from your list to adopt being a new habit and commit to practicing that new habit for the following a 3 week period. Whenever the a 3 week period are up, celebrate your success and pick another suggestion for the following 21 days-and so on.
If you try to do too much, too fast you're likely to fail. If we slow down to make changes, focusing on one new habit at a time, we'll accomplish much more. Simply slowing down a tiny bit by changing one habit per month your life will change drastically over a year! This applies to any goal you want to achieve, not just the goal of living in the now.
