Did you ever find yourself with difficulty to be present at the moment? In now, not yesterday, not tomorrow. I believe many people have this problem. Of course, the modern world is all about being hurried, being fast, being better, competitive, and then, we all have people full of anxiety, without enjoying the real moment of Life, being present in the now. Being aware of your Life, stayed here in the moment, appreciating Life as she is.

One day without social media can put you in the present moment, can take off all of the anxiety and everything that brings stress to your Mind and Life. Be present is true power. Be aware if you're not being present, if you're creating things that don't exist, hurting yourself, don't let the modern world hurry you in Life.

A year of positive thinking just starts when you start to be present in your Life. When you let down everything that tries to conquer your mind, whatever it may be, let your anxiety in the ground. As my sweet grandma use to say to me, "life is too precious honey, do not let the present moment get off of your mind". But our generation was taught to compete, strive, be better, and don't stop until die. Is not that crazy? Be mindful and present in your Life. This is a real power that not anyone can have.

When you discover what's really causing stress, what's the main reason for stress? Ask yourself these questions. and ask yourself, is this worthy of my time and stress? Why is this taking time and stress over me? What can I do to make me be present in the moment of Life?.

Life is such an important thing. So make your Life something important. be present for the moment of your Life. If anything is making you stress out and angry or anxious about the past, present, or future, whatever it is taking time in your mind, be present and let Life carry away everything that put your down. So let me tell you a story.

My father always used to tell me the same story "there's a person carrying two bags. In the right hand, the bag had a hole. In the left hand, the bag was normal. As the person was walking in the path of Life, that person was grabbing everything in the way. Everything that was good the person put in the left bag, everything that was bad the person put in the right bag. This way, that person was carrying just the good things. All the bad things were going into the bag that had a hole. Because eventually, that would fall in the way and do not weigh in Life." So my father told me; do the same with everything in your Life. put all the bad things in the bag that has a hole. Eventually, that will fall in the way, and you will not carry anything that makes you feel bad. But the good things, you can keep it, the things that make you feel good and light.

I didn't record that story, but today I remembered that. So be aware and present in Life. Stop carrying with you things that don't make you happy, give your attention to things that really matter in life. Let it go of striving. Let Life be as she is. At the moment, in the present, not yesterday, not tomorrow, just now. Be present in life ✨

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present."

― Bill Keane

"The future starts today, not tomorrow."

― Pope John Paul II

"One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present."

― Golda Meir, My Life

"Stop longing, be present in life."

"Good morning, good afternoon, good night. Whatever time you're reading this, have a good day, in the present, now." ✨🕊
