"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. "—Buddha
I don’t know about Buddha but it is hard for me to concentrate in the moment. I have been trying ever since I watched Julie Roberts in Eat Pray Love. It is hard then people might imagine maybe it is just hard for me. I love to walk so when I take either my morning or evening walk I attempt to just breathe and be in the moment. I may start out with a blank state of mind not even a quarter of the way I am thinking what do I have to do, things the girls need or I start to dwell on the past. Its crazy how my mind starts to wander if I don’t attempt to talk myself into just enjoy being alone, the cool breeze and grass.
I am enjoying life or attempting to by stepping out of my box. I need to also just enjoy the moment not rushing through every little thing. I want to take the time to enjoy the taste, texture of a piece of chocolate. Enjoy the silence, breath in the fresh air and let my mind and soul just be free. Not worry about bills, projects that need to be done around the house, or even how the kids are doing. Just be in the present and enjoy the moment. Yes easier said then done but I have been slowly practicing!
