Being present and aware

Start being present and aware of life

Life has never been faster and more stressful than today, and I believe it will be even faster for sure.

It is easy to lose focus in everyday life and start living by fulfilling “to do” list, so it is important to be aware when we are losing awareness.

It is very unusual! In the desire to make a better tomorrow, ours today is transformed into work for what is just coming. Therefore, our life is not really living but waiting for the results of today’s work.

Such a life frustrates us and leaves us unfulfilled because we are always in a state of waiting; we are waiting for a better partner, a better apartment, a better job, a better life and more.

That is why today it is more important than ever to make ourselves slow down. Being aware ofthe moment itself and always have in mind to “come back” to the moment. Although most of usknow this, we often forget that tomorrow may not come. After all, do we want to spend our lives

persistently waiting for something that might never happen?

If we live in the past we feel guilty, if we live in the future we feel anxiety, we are free only if we live in the present.

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence. “

– Eckhart Tolle

The only thing that exists is now, and why not dedicate your 100% attention to it? Imagine are devoting all of your being to the present moment!

Being present and aware of life is the best present you give to yourself and to everybody else.

Put your attention and will into everything you do, preparing a lunch with all your senses,playing with your child and feeling the child in you…

Imagine a life where just being present brings you leverage, without the factor what the futurebrings.

Only if we are present and conscious, we give 100% to the job we are doing, with all ourattention. Believe me, the results will surprise you. The side effects are that everything you dois done at a far greater level than before because you are fully into it. You will feel happy,grounded and relaxed. Instead of a tomorrow’s race that never comes, you’re enjoying todayyou already have.

Waiting and feeling that we are missing something we have replaced with gratitude for what wealready have and that is a true present.

“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. Whatyou perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: theNow. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past andfuture—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”
