It is vitality important that we all live in the present moment, yet most of us do not. We are either thinking of something that happened earlier that day or days before (repeating conversations in our head or mis-interpreting what we think someone meant), or we are thinking about the future and mis-anticipating events that we “think” will take place. All these uneasy thoughts makes us feel worried, stressed, unsure, etc. And it is these worried, stressed, unsure thoughts and feelings that dictate what is actually going to happen. Not always precise events or things, but our future is going to duplicate our current feelings into events in the future that make us feel the same way. “As within, so without”! This is one of my favorite quotes (as I have it tatooed on my arm) and it is still as relevant today as when it was written over 2,000 years ago by spiritual philosopher Hermes Trismegistus. Yet - very few individuals follow such a brilliant thought or way of life.

The take away is to be present as much as you can. When I find myself zoning out, I have a mantra that I repeat (sometimes 30 times) to bring me back to present. This one idea will change your life, as you will make better choices, decisions and feel your inner spirit guide you. So always pay attention to the way you feel each moment!
