Take It One Day at a Time and Live in the Moment

Once you learn to live in the moment you will be one step closer to finding happiness and meaning with your life. You will unlock more doors to opportunity than you can count. People will want to be around you and you will have much more fun.

One of the biggest problems most people have with enjoying their spare time is they forget how to live in the moment. When you go day to day worrying about the future and holding on to things that have happened in the past you lose touch with the amazing day in front of you. If anyone wants to learn how to enjoy life more I would recommend learning to live in the now. Enjoy everything around you and let the worries leave.

If you focus too much on the past then things that have happened before may cause you stress and discomfort. You may remember events or actions that put you in situations you didn’t like or want. By doing this you start to relate current events with things that have already happened and forget to enjoy the day you are given. Every day is a new one and each day has the right to be different from all the previous ones. It is true that there are similarities to things that happen now vs. things that have happened in the past but learn to value those with important decision making and not use them to guide your path each day.

Worrying about events that are in the future doesn’t help you enjoy life either. If you spend all of your time worrying about future events the anxiety won’t allow you to enjoy your time. Anxiety is one of the most common and most destruction factors in people living unhappy lives.

Start now. Stop worrying. Stop Remembering. Take a walk and enjoy every little detail of your trip. Remember whats going on right now is the most important thing in your life. Learn to appreciate even the smallest detail and you will find love for you life. Once you shift your focus to the now and learn to love it your life will improve ten fold almost immediately.

Key Points to Enjoy the Now

• Forget the Past
• Don’t Worry About the Future
• Take the time to stop and be thankful for all the things around you
• Enjoy “the little things in life”
• If your having trouble focusing on the now take a nature walk

By living one day at a time you will learn to appreciate each new day as something special. You will learn to enjoy the moments that make up your life instead of the destination. By doing this you are one step closer to true happiness.
