We hear it regularly to “be here now in the moment”. This practice brings into focus what is significant in our lives in the present moment.
On some
level time seems to slow down when we are focused on the here and now. Stop for
a moment and watch the clock as it rounds the one-minute cycle. Did that moment
pass quickly?
Of course,
we are not here to sit and watch the hands of time. We have things to do as
life is full of experiences. Yesterday, however, is gone. Although it held
lessons it is no longer where we need to focus our attention. Lingering in “what
was” serves no purpose, especially with grief and despair. Process the
experience, learn the lessons but do not live in them. We are meant to
experience life as it is in the moment and then follow through into the next
moment as it arrives. Holding on to negativity or “how things used to be” robs
us of the experience of now and holds us prisoner to what was.
Our focus
brings forth what we are aligning with, so focus or concentration is relevant.
We are the creators of our life, and our focus opens or closes doors for what’s
to come.
Dwelling on
bad experiences magnifies the experience. It only allows us to focus on
negativity. Although we learn from our challenges we are not meant to take up
residence there. We are visitors of each experience and by accepting and then
letting go we open the door for something of greater substance to enter. Living
in the moment does not include past experiences or anticipation of future
experiences. The moment only holds with it the ever-present now.
Life is
offering gifts to us now. The experiences of the present moment will help
create our future but once gone must be left in the moment past. Nothing
disappears but wishing for the past or worrying about the future does nothing to
enhance the current experience. It does squander the moment however.
Let’s move
out of yesterday and into now.
All we
truly have is this moment!
