I need some inspiration for my "Present Moment" article I'm writing. When are you not present and when do you feel you are?

I think that when one begins to fret too much about things to do, or things that one has no control over, one begins to lose touch with the "now." They then need to refocus on the "now" or things that are immediate and that they have control over.

I am present when someone wishes to share some of their stories with me about how they have survived the day to a certain point. If they selfishly, go on and on about themselves only and with no interest in anything else, I shut down and tune out.

Making plans while life is happening--not in the now
Dropping what you are doing to enjoy the moment regardless of what you need to do at the time--being in the now

"The Now" makes me think of one of the latest Black Dagger Brotherhood books, lol. I think she used that term a lot. Or maybe I'm thinking of some other fantasy book like that? I think it was one of The Chosen who kept talking about The Now, but it had nothing to do with this thread.

Though he's a inspirational speaker |
