Choosing to live in the past or the future not only robs you of enjoyment today, it robs you of truly living. The only important moment is the present moment. With that goal in mind, consider this list of ten tips below to start living your life in the present:
1. Remove unneeded possessions, remove clutter.
2. Smile. Each day is full of endless possibilities! Start it with a smile. You are in control of your attitude every morning. How does that song go? Smile and the whole world smiles with you.
3. Fully appreciate the moments of today.
4. Forgive past hurts. If you are harboring resentment towards another human being because of past hurts, choose to forgive and move on. The harm was their fault. Allowing it to impact your mood today is your fault.
5. Love your job. If you totally hate your job. Make a decision. You can quit. Or, you can change your attitude. Whatever you do, do it now.
6. Dream about the future, but work hard today. Dreams are good, and don’t let them replace livin--today.
7. Don’t dwell on past accomplishments.
8. Stop worrying! Tomorrow is going happen, and worrying is a waste of time. Worrying is a great thief of time. Robbing you of the present moment.
9. Think beyond old solutions to problems. Our world is changing so fast. What worked in the past may not work today. Keep an open mind.
10. Conquer addictions. Addictions in your life hold you hostage. Find help. Take the steps.
Now, I am going to put this on my refrigerator and I will try to follow day by day.
