How, to live in the present?

Thoughts

Most of the time, we think about certain things that don't add value. And still, we keep thinking about non-essential thoughts. For instance, thinking all day about nonsensical things. You know it won't add value however still you continue to think.

I know, it's quite difficult to stop the flood of thoughts and get back to the work. However, make sure you consciously instruct your mind to be present at the moment. It's you who can bring the change. I'm certain it's easier said than done, however, with practice it becomes easier.

Smile!

When you start your day, start with a big beaming smile. You've got a wonderful day, don't ruin it by thinking about past and future events. Live to the fullest and a smile just set you in that perfect mood. To start with an optimistic attitude, to start with a cheerful smile. This optimistic attitude sets you in the present moment. As you feel grateful for the day and thus you live in the moment.

Do what you love.

When you do what you love you don't pay heed to past guilts or future worries. You're completely into the work and you don't think about anything else. For instance, when you're watching your favorite episode on Netflix, you don't think about your past mistakes or plans and goals. You tend to live in the present, you're curious about what will happen in the next series? I believe the key to living in the present moment is to do what you love. Now, this doesn't mean you'll watch your Netflix episodes all day long. Instead, do something that you're passionate about. It can be anything if you love writing like me, you can write blogs. If you love singing upload your YouTube videos on singing. If you love sketching you can sketch and sell them in various galleries.

Yoga has been always helping us to focus better. It enhances our focusing and concentration power. And if you're wondering how it can be possible. Well, it can be possible

When you wake up and start your day, meditate for some time. Breathe in and say, 'I'm present in the moment, 'I'm living now. Later, breath out and say 'I don't wander. Repeat this continuously about 5-10 times. And do meditation daily.

Journal

Writing journals have always helped people. And certainly, it can help you too. When you start your day, start with writing Journals. These journals stating clearly, you live in the moment.

When you write every day, you live in the present moment. This information gets deep into your subconscious mind. And later this becomes your habit. Believe me, it does wonder when you write your hopes and desires in the paper. You're manifesting it not expecting to make it happen. When you believe in something with full confidence you start to manifest your dreams around it. And later you realize your dreams have turned into reality.
