I tried to think of how to comment on this because it means a great deal to me. but alas I just coulden't figure out how to express my thought, so I'll post a meme to something I live by.

I make an effort to live in the moment and try to remind myself to be present when I drift. I fail at it perpetually and I am constantly rewarded with opportunities to correct it.

I wouldn’t know how to live any other way. I didn’t know how, until I was diagnosed with cancer, now I take each minute as it comes. I don’t look back, and I don’t look past today. Life is easier this way.

I have never been 100% sold on this because I think awareness of context is often important to things like planning and learning from experience. Living in the present is what we software developers call a "peephole optimization". When you optimize for one thing, you are inherently de-optimizing for something else.

That said ... it's a technique I still find surprisingly useful. I think the trick is to be able to put aside the past and the future and not be obsessed with, or overly focused on, either. Too much focus on the past = regret; too little = disconnected from context. Too much focus on the future = anxiety; to little = disorganized.

I don't wan to sound weird but I don't think I have the capacity not to do that - Its possibly because I have D.I.D - I don't know but I just seem to live seamlessly without thought - I get immersed in what I am doing and that is all there is, like just picking out weeds or watering and my head doesn't seem to run around needing entertainment - I have friends who are the opposite so I understand and not sure which of us is luckier

I tried living in the moment once... but the moment passed.

depends on my mental health when its stable yeah i do

Can't change yesterday. Living in the past denies yourself a future, live in the now. I have too much to be doing to look back. ?

I try. It can be hard sometimes because I live in my head so much, but I do pretty well.

Everyday. Keep my fishing rods in my car. Life is uncertain. Eat desert first. ?

I find my awareness fluctuates, even just when I try to stay aware of the body I seem to drift off after a while. Being aware of the mind and of the emotions is more difficult, and I’ve never yet had a moment where I could be aware of all three. But then that is what meditation is for.

I have a hard time living in the moment and controlling my thoughts and focus, although it's something I'm working hard on. I want to be more aware of the world around me and learn to spend more time in the now. My problems with mental health often hinder me in these goals, but I try to stay optimistic.

How is it possible to live in the moment? The moment the moment is realized it not a moment. It's the past.

Meditation rocks, it's helped me w a few injuries, PTSD.

What are your triggers/reminders to be in the moment?

Me as much as possible

I just joined and am browsing. This caught my attention because I am old and the moment, right now is what I have. Oh, my health is fairly good and I have an excellent medical team to guide me.

Life can be brutal, disappointing and cruel but it can also be joyful, loving and beautiful. I love life and enjoy it but today is all any of us have. My advice to others is embrace life, hold it close because we only have one chance to live so do not waste it.

Sorry. What was that? I'd just drifted off.

Live in the moment as much as you can. You never know how long your moment will last.

Once you pass certain age then you just gotta....

If I lose my health care I will be dead in 28 days. So I very much live in the moment...but I do have a goal... and what I want my life to change into.

I've been accused of being "too in the moment"

That is the only thing in front of you and accesible... The Now.

I do an okay job of it I think. Especially when I'm driving and singing along with musicals in the car. I give it 110% lol

Not as much as I should. But when I do - it is too the full!

Sure..I meditate throughout the day to stay focused on the "now." Being on cannabis oil to treat cancer also helps, since it puts you in that zone naturally.
