We all remember how beautiful memories we got from our high school, college, or previous workspace, but did you appreciate it when it was the present. We all live deep in the memories of yesterday and forget to live in the present. This process becomes consistent and we subconsciously create a past without a present. So how to learn to live in the moment?
Accept your present:
To live in the moment you must accept your surroundings completely. So how do you accept it? Every day when you wake up, while sitting on your bed take a deep breath and look around you, you have a place to live, a bed to sleep in; then you are lucky enough, you are lucky enough to be still breathing, lucky enough to be able to walk on your feet, lucky enough to feed yourself. The moment you step out of your home feel the air, feel the sunrise. While you are going to work no matter how hard you think your job today is accept it the way it is, accept the fact that many people don't even have a job, and accept the fact that you can take a metro or taxi to work, many people don't have enough money to even do that. Practice accepting the facts and truth of your life, each time you accept things positively you attract more positivity.
Don't leave regrets:
When you accept your present, understand its importance and that everything you want lies today. It is important to realize the fact that everything you want in your future starts today, if you want a new job, apply for one today, if you want to change your career then do it today, if you love someone go tell them today. Do not wait for the right time or moment to initiate something new or take a step forward, live your life like there won't be a tomorrow, only then you won't have a regret from yesterday.
Enjoy everything:
Do you ever feel tired or bored during a trip or go home late after work? Have you considered enjoying it? When you accept your present completely it is important to enjoy every moment of it. Everything that comes your way today is an appreciation no matter how tiring it may be, returning home from work late could be joyful when you might not get to see such a night view ever before or after that time. Everything that happens to you today creates a chance for you to see things in a way you may have never seen before, it's entirely up to you to take that chance or not.
Journalize:
If you struggle to count happiness in your busy life then one way is writing down your moments. Before the end of the day take a moment to write down everything that happened on that day of your life after writing it all down, reread it and then look at the positive and negative side of all the points you wrote. This will allow you to understand what you gained on that day and in how many ways you lived.
Conclusion:
In the end, it is important to understand how beautiful today is and live it completely because tomorrow things will change and it will all be different and become a fine memory.
