We function in a culture that is often focused
on the future and what is coming up. We make predictions, projections and plans of action. It almost seems as though this mindless disregard of the present is encouraged and even rewarded. It can be like swimming up stream at first, but you can very easily change your relationship with the present moment and begin to find the resources, experiences and relationships that you are craving. They are not as far away as you have been conditioned to believe. Notice the aspects of the year, month, week, day and hour that you wish to experience more of and find ways to savor and dwell in them a bit more each time. Perhaps it’s your morning cup of coffee without your phone or the TV on, just the flavor of the sip and the warmth of the mug on your hands. Maybe it’s a hobby or interest that you spend a few more minutes more on each day, shutting your laptop or leaving the office on time to make space. Over time you will develop a natural connection to and awareness of what is available to you in a moment.
