STAY IN THE PRESENT!

“If you feel anxiety or depression, you are not in the present. You are either anxiously projecting the future or depressed and stuck in the past. The only thing you have any control over is the present moment; simple breathing exercises can make us calm and present instantly.” ― Tobe Hanson

I was talking to my friend earlier and she said,"I always fear about future so much that i am not able to enjoy my present" and that statement made me realize  aren't we all somewhere fearful of what is going to come in our life. Being  depressed about past and anxious about future  is the new normal,isn't it?. We often think about our "problems" but we don't realize the actual problem is us and our thinking , our perception.

3 ways to stay in present

1.control over thoughts:

I swear half of our issues will be solved if we stopped thinking so much,Sometimes we just need to let go all of it (the hurt, the pain )instead of thinking about it because we hold on to pain more than we hold on to happiness.Train your mind to accept situations instead of dwelling on to it time and again.

2.letting go of past:

How many of you have atleast once in life said "I am feeling too happy today maybe something bad is going to happen",and this  shows how we are latched to the trauma and  are not  willing to give up on it because we feel its "better" that way. Everyone feels hurt but its we who decide how to respond to it. 

You can learn 2 things from past:

1.lesson /experience 

2. And situations change (Happy or sad it changes)

3.Acceptance :

The most important part of being a human is the power acceptance.

Its not like we get to write the script of our life,I mean if that was possible pain we wouldn't have existed, but that would have made us arrogant we wouldn't know the importance of happiness. And if we really want to enjoy LIFE we need to accept  EVERYTHING life gives us.

And thats how we stay in present.
