Live in the present moment from "summary" of The Subtle Art of Not Giving A - by Mark Manson
The idea of living in the present moment is not some feel-good, New Agey concept that you can just adopt and all your problems will magically disappear. No, it's actually about facing the reality of your life head-on, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it may be. It's about accepting the fact that life is not always rainbows and butterflies, and that sometimes, shit just happens. When you live in the present moment, you are fully engaged in what is happening right now, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. This doesn't mean that you ignore your past experiences or stop planning for the future altogether. It simply means that you don't let your past define you or your future dictate your present. Living in the present moment requires a certain level of mindfulness – the ability to be aware of your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. It's about being present with whatever is happening in the here and now, without judgment or attachment. It's about being fully immersed in the present moment, whatever it may bring. The truth is, most of us spend a lot of our time either rehashing past mistakes or worrying about what might happen in the future. We get so caught up in our own heads that we forget to actually live our lives. But when you learn to live in the present moment, you free yourself from the shackles of your past and the anxieties of your future. You allow yourself to fully experience life as it unfolds, without being weighed down by regrets or fears.
