OOOh Boy..Living in the moment.
I have had to work very hard at doing that.
And some days it is just impossible it seems.
I thihk for me..Like you said..Gratitude plays a very important role in helping stay in the moment.
Patience too.
I have come on here recently in a frenzy about finances..jobs..bills..just all this stuff that stresses me out and really makes me wonder why I am even trying to stay clean if this is how its goign to be.
Well I got quite a bit a great advice on all that staying in the moment stuff.
Be grateful for whats good in life right now and stop worrying about whats wrong.
Time waits nor does it hurry for noone.
So serenity prayer is good also.
Some things we just cant do anything about..So kinda cross that bridge when you come to it..Worrying about it now will do nothing except make you crazy.
I like to just sit somewhere nice and quiet. And listen to music or just do something calm. And I have to just clear my head and focus on what is going on thats good in life right now. EVen if it is only one thing. I have to stay positive.
Listen to the sounds around you. Think how nice it is to be home froma long days work and think how good it feels to have put in a hard days work and be gratful.
I am rambling now. Its hard for me to put into words.
But it isnt easy to do...But once you get the idea...It comes easier.
