Happiness exists in only one time zone, this present moment, now. Happiness does not exist in the past or future.
That means staying present, being acutely aware of our surroundings without judgment is the goal.
Check in as often as you can during the day. Focus, take three deep breaths and come back to now, then smile. It’s working.
If we placed all our energy today on this task, opportunity may arrive.
You may see how much time we waste meandering in thought and connected emotion.
I still find myself in one of my childhood fantasies, World Series, bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded and I am at bat.
It is far better than a trauma memory or a negative emotion but it takes me away from now.
Now, is what we need.
Three letter word changes life, completely. All those worries, doubts and fears fade, leaving us with precious time and energy.
The mind can be trained to go slow and empty itself of thought with daily focus and application.
Not a huge effort, but a specialized, specific type of focus and exploration.
Start your journey with ten minutes a day.
