With mindfulness we live in the present moment. This is not, however, where most of us currently spend a lot of time. We topple forward into the future and worry about the next day or month or year. We think about what happened yesterday or last week or five years ago. We plan a vacation for months, then when we’re finally lounging on the beach, our mind drifts off to the problems we left at home. The habit of being a little (or a lot) ahead of ourselves, living in the past, or lost in fantasy, extracts an enormous price: We miss out on our life.

Mindfulness is extremely powerful. If we stay in the moment we can teach ourselves that we are okay in this moment.

I agree, it will benefit our whole being if we are mindful in everything that we do. Our daily activities come from our minds and thoughts and if we are mindful and capture what would lead us to a better living, we will benefit in the long run. Thanks for leaving a comment and like on my recent post. I truly appreciate it.
