How to Live in the Moment

Sometimes life passes by so quickly that we forget to pay attention to what is going on. The kids grow up before our eyes, we get older and then we wonder where the time went. We live in a fast-paced society where work takes a large chunk of our day. Learn to live in the moment today.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Look around you. Pay attention to the beauty in the world. Smell the scents in the air. See the colors around you. Really look. We rush so fast that we don't even notice what's right in front of our eyes. Feel the air. Close your eyes and let the sun beat on your face.
2. Play with a child. Children live in the moment. They don't worry about tomorrow or what chores need to be done. They have fun doing silly simple things.
3. Hug someone you love today. You never know if today is your last day. Treat people like you won't see them again. Say what you need to say and you won't have any regrets.
4. Forget about "what if" and pay attention to "what is." You have a lot if you have a friend or two you can count on or if someone loves you. Appreciate what you have and forget about what you wish you had.
5. Look for the good in people. You can find positive and negative in every situation and in every person. Look for the positive and you will find it.
6. Let go of hate, anger and guilt. They are wasted emotions that just drag you down. Embrace love, happiness and gratitude.
7. Do nice things for people. Help someone today. It will make you feel alive and make them feel good.
