How to Enjoy Your Life

Not Quite Zen

Do you find yourself thinking about the past or worrying about the future? If so, you’re not alone. Many of us feel this way at one time or another. For years my anxiety was so bad that’s pretty much all I could do. I would constantly worry or speculate about what could happen, or beat myself up over embarrassments from the past.

Even when I had something to look forward to like a vacation, I spent all my time focused on the upcoming trip. And when I got there, I spent way too much time having anxiety about it ending. I never, and I mean never spent time focusing on the present.

Everyone constantly thinks about the past and the future, and very few people live in the present moment.
So, how do you learn to start enjoying your life? The only thing you can do is make the most of the present moment. And the good news is that getting started isn’t hard. There are some simple things you can do to refocus your mind and pay attention to the present.

In this episode I cover:

• The difference between connecting in the present moment and mindfulness.
• How to start noticing the present without meditation.
• Why living in the present is important and how it benefits your life.
• How to put anxiety into perspective.
• And some homework that will help you start enjoying your life more.
