Live in the moment. That means now.

Do you know how to live in the moment? Does it feel like a long time since you last stood still and lost yourself in a beautiful sunset, or watching kids play in the park? Is your life too full of worries for you to 'justify' such pointless activities? Do you bow to the cultural mantra that says if you're not doing something useful you're useless?

The real meaning of living in the moment

'Living in the moment' is an expression we've all heard, but what does it mean, exactly? You may think of it as something that 'enlightened' people do, Zen Buddhists and hermits, for instance. Not ordinary people, who have to get on with the nitty-gritty and earn their daily bread and make a success of their lives.

When you live in the moment, you allow yourself to experience life directly. You notice what is in front of you, right now. You see the colours. You hear the sounds. You smell the scents - or stinks! Your senses are open to the world without value judgement. When you live in the moment, the question 'Will this get me a promotion?' suddenly stops being so important.

It is your right to be able live in the moment

And the fact is, we have all experienced what it is to live in the moment. Because we have all been young children, lost in wonder at the amazing world around us, utterly unconcerned with what we are going to get out of it.

And this ability to see the world with fresh eyes is a resource which we lose at our peril. If we allow ourselves to become trapped in routine ideas and routine behaviours, we lose flexibility and adaptability. And we risk becoming exhausted and burnt out.
