“Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non- judgmentally”.

This gem comes from Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn.

And Eckhart Tolle who wrote “The Power of Now” says, “People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future”.

Perhaps that way so many people with terminal diseases let go and live the time that they have left in a way that they could have never imagined.

Don’t drown in a downpour of your own thoughts.

You don’t need the past to define who you are as a person or the future for feeling fulfilled.

This is empowering for people of all ages.

Planning is forethought.

Obsessive thinking about the future is fear-thought.

Take these 14 words of Dr. Kabat-Zinn and integrate them into daily life and accomplish the previously elusive goal of living and enjoying the present moment.
