Living in the Moment

This article was a great discovery! It was full of great advice for living in the moment and ideas and technique to do just that! For copyright reasons, I am not permitted to post the entire article. I posted the beginning and a bit from the middle to tease you. At the end, I have posted the link where you can read the entire article.

Feel Happy Every Day by Living in the Moment
By Harriet Meyerson

Many people are so concerned with adding days to their life that they forget to add life to their days.

If you have ever found yourself at home thinking about what you need to do at work, or at work thinking about things happening in your personal life, you know how distracting it is. Living in the moment means you are totally immersed in an experience.

The past is history.
The future is a mystery.
The only time we really have is now - just this moment.

ACTIVITIES TO PRACTICE LIVING IN THE MOMENT

Living in the moment takes practice because you are used to being distracted. Make a special effort to consciously practice being totally immersed in what you are doing for some time every day. Here are some ideas to get you started.

TAKE A BUBBLE BATH
Play some soft music. Relax and feel the warmth of the water. Just think of how you are enjoying the moment.

DRIVE A DIFFERENT ROUTE TO WORK
Get off the highway, and take the city streets to work. As you drive, notice the trees and houses as you pass through different neighborhoods. Going a different way will also help you concentrate on your surroundings.
