11 Ways to Be More Present in Everyday Life
Stay in the "Now" and make things happen!
1. Get rid of the nonessential objects and possessions
Some people hold onto material possessions long after they had outlived their use. But doing so will keep an individual stuck in the past. Let me explain.
Your clients may have a few cherished momentous that they would like to keep, and that’s fine. But, when people collect things excessively, their lives are sure to suffer.
Every item carries an energy. And clients who are surrounded by things from the past will continue revisiting experiences that they have outgrown. It is very difficult to move forward in life when what happened before is always present.
2. Look for opportunities, instead of obstacles
Many people pride themselves on figuring out why a plan won’t work. They are always thinking about what could go wrong. But this type of life strategy is destined to fail.
A person will create more of what she focuses on. The best way to manifest challenges is by expecting them. We want clients to approach life with an optimistic attitude, so that they use the conscious creation process in a positive way.
3. Absorb the day
So many people walk through life in a trance like state; executing patterns and programs that they’ve learned through repetition. They’re on “Automatic Pilot” at work, home, and everywhere else.
However, doing that makes the person a passenger in her own life; someone who has no power, control, or influence over what happens. One of the best ways to help your client get present is to suggest that she take in as much sensory information as possible throughout the day.
Invite her to smell the roses, listen carefully to what’s going on, feel emotions as they emerge. Doing this will increase your clients present moment awareness and enable her to make clear choices in response to whatever’s happening.
4. Practice forgiveness
A person who holds onto resentment must relive events from the past over and over. But, of course, it’s counterproductive to walk through life while looking backwards.
5. Bring joy to your work
Many people today are working at jobs that they hate, just to get by. But doing that will decrease someone’s life satisfaction and potential for personal growth.
The thing to remember is that we generate emotional states from within. To feel joyful, excited, or enthusiastic at work, therefore, your clients must bring “Joy,” “Excitement,” and “Enthusiasm” into the workplace.
It may be ideal for some people to change careers to become more fulfilled. If doing that is a viable option for your client, then make sure that she remains open to the possibility of working in a different field or industry.
6. Have a compelling vision for the future and work toward it every day
To pursue and achieve anything worthwhile, we must have “Vision.” It’s important to dream big and not feel limited by what took place in the past. Every great invention began as an idea.
But we must also get into action if those dreams are to ever be fulfilled. What your client does today will determine her future. Therefore, it is essential that she take steps to build a bright and a better tomorrow.
7. Don’t hold on to past successes
It’s wonderful to acknowledge our accomplishments and victories in life. But we also want to keep moving forward, toward even greater levels of happiness, health, wealth, and fulfillment.
Some people do one significant thing and, then, dwell on that event forever. The problem with that is that they don’t move on and try or complete anything else. People like that are often trying to quit the game of life while they’re ahead.
8. Stop worrying
Worry is all about anticipating what we don’t want to happen. This is probably the worst way for a person to utilize her creative faculties. A person always has the power to choose the thoughts that he will dwell on.
Therefore, it just makes more sense for your client to practice thinking about what she wishes to create.
9. Open your mind to new solutions
Many of us try to solve problems with the methods that have been proven not to work. That’s because human beings are inclined to do what’s familiar, regardless of whether it’s effective or not.
To get better results, your clients must “Think Outside the Box;” do things in a way that they never have before.
10. Release all attachments
Attachments are like shackles that are staked into the ground and keep people stuck in one place. All things in the universe change, grow and evolve. Anyone who doesn’t accept this will be left behind while the rest of us move forward.
11. Just decide
Just decide to stay present; to not let the mind keep you in the past or future. Being in either place for too long will take away your power to act in this moment, which is the only real time you have to do anything!

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

better than 1 percent every day part 1 (self-development motivation)
If you can't fly then run If you can't run then walk . But no matter what you're doing you have to move forward. Always tell yourself You yourself may be less intelligent than others and have a starting point, but you have to put in 3 times more effort, 4 times more, or even 10 times more. I haven't found a better way than trying with perseverance. by perseverance and constant efforts to achieve goals when you have a lower starting point than others. Everyone has a dream, I believe you do too. Whether the dream is big or small, việc đạt được ước mơ là cả một quá trình. But not everyone makes efforts to achieve their dreams. After a few stumbles, you often lose faith in your dreams and intend to give up. But I don't think Giving up is the right decision on the path to achieving your dreams. One of the things that motivates us to achieve success is faith. Faith has strong hidden power to help us achieve our goals. Do you know that in ancient battles, before going into battle, what soldiers often did was not choose the sharpest weapons or the heaviest armor, the important thing they did was is to strengthen their belief. They always have faith that they will win. They will defeat all opponents. Because belief will lead to action. Weak belief will lead to superficial actions. niềm tin mạnh mẽ sẽ dẫn đến hành động quyết liệt hơn. A player who goes into battle without faith in victory will not be able to score goals. An excellent leader who does not have confidence in himself will not be able to lead an organization, so to realize your dream, you must build yourself a belief in what you are doing, of course. must be accompanied by action, not daydreaming. During your efforts, there will certainly be failures. You will look at the person next to you and feel yourself slowing down and despairing about yourself, but why do you don't think I need to put in more effort instead of spending time feeling guilty for me success is a process not a destination no matter what your goal is a house a super car A happy family or a successful business, getting there is sooner or later. What's more important is the process of trying to achieve it. It could be the days of waking up early, the days of working, coming home late, trying to convince customers, tiring physical exercises that later when you look back, you will never regret and always be grateful for the things that help you grow more and more when You are successful, you have your own story to tell. If everything comes too easily, then there is no such thing as a challenge. If it comes easily, then how can it be called fire? The hardest thing is to know who can last until the end because the champion horse is not the fastest horse. People don't care as much about you as you think. Stay focused. focus on what you do and try to be 1% better every day ignore the criticism of those around you and until you succeed people start to notice you At first they laugh at you But over time they will gradually support you and eventually they will admire you. Work in silence and the results will speak for you. Silently persevere in pursuing your goals, you don't need to announce them to the world. The world knows what you are doing because you are accomplishing it, all the results will speak for you. People who brag too early when they are only in the middle of the race often fail because they are subjective. These people often do not have What's scary? The people you should feel scary are those who silently persevere in their efforts every day and when they achieve results, everyone around them will feel surprised and admire the limits set to break through the world. Limits are created by your own thoughts, so what Hamad Gunny once said especially seems impossible until you accomplish it. Remember how many things you initially found difficult. But then when you do it, you feel really excited. When you can't run one kilometer, you feel like it's really too difficult, so when you run 3 kilometers, you see reaching 5 kilometers as a challenge. The possibility of one kilometer is no longer your only concern. When you can't wake up at 6 o'clock, you will find it tiring. Until you can make it a habit. laugh when someone tells you that the habit of waking up at 6 a.m. is difficult and just like that, as you break through the limits you set for yourself, you will gradually believe in yourself more and be motivated. Conquer the next goals in your efforts and you will encounter failures, but I understand this feeling and you know that failure is part of the game and the longer the road, the more arduous it becomes. Failure is a ladder to help you go further, put your foot on each step.
