Transformation 1 / 5 : The Power of Living in the Now Moment.

If there is one thing that can transform your life right now, it is from now on focus on nothing else but

Living in the NOW moment, right here right now!

People often say that an exciting life requires constant energy and intensity. It is so true. Ask yourself and your friends: why is it that we love extreme sports like skydiving and boxing so much?

It is precisely because it forces us to focus on the now and causes our awareness to expand exponentially.

How often do we find our mind slips away from the present and endlessly anticipating a ‘better’ future hoping that it will fill the void within us?

Is it then possible to suggest that our worries stem from our mind spending too much time in the future rather than the present?

Deepak Chopra once remarks that, ‘when the present moment becomes filled with a presence that is all-absorbing, completely at peace, and totally satisfying, you are in the now.’

Living in the now therefore implies a certain degree of awareness: noticing all those around you for ‘there are no ordinary moments’. (Peaceful Warrior)
