wake up one morning and exclaim, "Today I am going live in the present moment!" It's like anything else that makes one healthy; it takes work. Gerry Jampolsky, (the founder of the first Attitudinal Healing Center says), "It is possible to focus on peace for just one instantlet your attention come to the quiet in the center of your heart." This means we need to stop being preoccupied with the past: our should-haves, our could-haves, and our what-ifs. We need to wake up and smell the cappuccino.

If we lived in the present moment, the mental health field would be almost non-existent. Dwelling on "what was" and "what will be" is the cause of depression, anxiety, stress, and numerous medical disorders. Think about it. How can one be anxious if they discover the peace, which resides within? We have the power to seize this peace, embrace it, and delight in itbefore it melts!
This is what I know for sure: the breath I'm taking now can never be salvaged; the middle can be filled in by living it; silence is where we find God; letting go of the past will set us free; tranquility is impatiently waiting; staying awake is an art, and nothing truly matters but the breath we are taking now.
