Urge to check the news (for the 11th time before noon)
You are being pulled in all kinds of directions - away from the now. Convincing ourselves that we are so busy we have to multitask to keep up. Leading us to check emails while in meetings - not paying attention to what’s being said.
Reading the news while having dinner with our spouse - missing out on an opportunity to connect. Forget to be in the present moment - the only time that ever is.
The past took place in the present moment when it happened. The future will take place in the present moment when it arises.
The only time that ever exists is NOW.
Everything else is just a mental construct. Life is here and now, don’t miss it being too caught up in where you want to go or what happened in the past.
Enjoy the present moment! The only moment that ever is - Now.
