3 Fun Ways to Live in the Moment

Read Now

For the past few weeks, I've encouraged you to explore the dreams you hold for your life and to really get clear on what you want to experience, achieve and learn in 2015. Now it's time to shift gears and come back to NOW. To be in this moment right here. Eckart Tolle teaches us to consider the present and past briefly, long enough to inform and give shape our present moment.

Living in the moment may not be as easy as it sounds. The trick is to live life and without being consumed by the past or the future, since either only exists in our minds. In this week's Sun-day design I want you to live in this moment and genuinely feel and experience life. You've done the work in planting the seeds for this year and now it's to communicate with your mind, body, and soul and allow that inner dialogue to guide you the rest of the way. The answers and direction you seek is within, being present in this moment is the only GPS system you need.  

Most of us are familiar with using meditation as one tool to practicing presence. It's a great way to help you clear the path to opening your heart and mind to what is happening inside and around you. It's important to learn your body's cues so that you can understand your body's needs, desire, and also the intuitive responses to questions you have about your life. You can also create presence through physical touch, movement and by having a deep connection with others.

Here are 3 more ways you can live in the moment.
  • Embrace someone you love by the head or shoulders and look into his or her eyes for 30 seconds. It will feel like forever and your instinct will guide you to laugh or look away. That's okay, the idea is for to feel and be present with the thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations that rise inside you.
  • Lay on the floor or ground. No pillows, no noise. Just listen to yourself breath. Feel your lungs expand and contract. As relaxing as this exercise may sound you will notice some areas in your body release tension and as some thought surface areas of your body will also tense. Focusing on the breath and your body is great way to get in touch with your feelings, they will come up.
  • Dance. Put on some music and tango. When you're dancing, feeling the beat , the melody, the music takes you over and you can only focus on the harmony and music. Now let's tango!
Setting aside 2-3 minutes a day to just feel. Listen to your body, watch your thoughts and see how your mind creates new possibilities. Leave a comment and share your practice for getting present below.
