What is life? Is it past , or is it future. No, it is here and now. Yes, it is present and not past and not future. The past and future are just thoughts in our mind. There is some extra power and energy in Now which you can feel only in the present. Focus on now, focus on present, meditate on present.
You will not be sad, afraid, anxious and worried if you are always in present. Do not be identified with the mind and also not with the body. It will be difficult to always be in present. It requires practice but it is not impossible. The mind is so conditioned for the last so many years to think unnecessarily about the past and future. But daily practicing to be in present helps.
Ways to be in present :
1. Meditation - Be in silence daily for some time. Start with 10 min of silence daily and slowly increase it to 15-20-25-30-45 min and may be 1 hour.
2. Focus on breathing : Try to focus on breathing (in and out), just observe breathing. Make a habit of doing this many times a day. Slowly this will become habit and will prevent you from unnecessary thinking.
3. Feel like an observer : Try to detach from body and mind, whenever you can and think like an observer. You will be more happy.
These are some ways to be in present. Will write more on similar topics.
