Embrace the Present Moment
There is no moment in your life more important than the moment you are experiencing. If you allow yourself to be distracted, or let your life become too busy, you will miss it all together. There will always be a million different things going on, the trick is to focus on where you are in the moment, rather than worrying about what will be happening later or what was done earlier. When you focus on what’s happening around are you, giving your attention to the people you are with and the things you are doing, you will find a satisfaction.
Don't let the hurry and worry of life take the magic out of your existence. We as a nation have forgotten the art of conscious living. Unplug and take a conscious breath. This is your life you are missing. Put down that cell phone when you are out on your walk. Be present in the here and now, and stop multitasking! If you are eating, then push away that paper, book, phone and take a conscious bite. Be present and enjoy the flavor and texture of your food. Allow yourself to revel in the rich taste, to savor the decadent scent. Give your spouse your full attention during your conversations and be there in that moment when you send your child off for school or play.
When we shift our awareness back to the things that matter, it honors and allows them to regain their importance in our lives and makes a way for the magical moments to exist, the moments that make life worth living. You can have the life you want. You can be the person you aspire to be. Use the auspicious energy today to make a pledge and then take action to make it happen. Let the energy of the New Year bolster your spirit and aid your journey.
