Thinking in the moment is one of the most simple thing you can do to make yourself happy.
It is important to take sometime every day to enjoy the moment, especially when you are feeling anxious, depressed or you are going thought a tough time and you mind seams to not be able to stop thinking about your worries.
In the beginning you need to make a conscious effort to practise it. Your mind want to keep thinking about a conversation you just had, or what you are going to do after work, or what do you need to buy at the supermarket. But with practise you notice that it becomes easier and easier.
By now after some time practising it comes very naturally and with not effort at all for me. My mind is mostly in the present unless I need to focus on something to do in the future.
Try it! It will change your life...
Take a moment of your time and focus in the now.
Breath.
Look around you.
What can you see? Focus in something beautiful and enjoy the moment.
What can you hear? Focus in some lovely music, the laughter of your child, the singing of the birds...
If you seat to eat alone. What can you taste? Think about all the wonderful flavours in your mouth.
What can you touch? Touch things around you and enjoy the feel of it.
What can you smell? Smell is so important. It come bring you to another time in your life. It can bring you happy memories. The smell of grass, an orange, enjoy the perfume of your soap every time your wash your hands, smell a flower, the clean hair of your child.
Notice the things around you.
Every little moment in your life, when you focus on it, can bring you to the moment.
Enjoy it!
