Staying in present moment helps

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
Let us face some facts of life. "Past is gone, future is yet and we left with no option rather than to be in present." so simply it is better to be in present. If you want to live in present then you should be best in one very specific point and that is “power of determination.” Sit with very pleasant mood or with fresh mood and talk with your self. What to talk ? Talk regard Following points which are the main reasons of snatching you from your present.
Regret is when you feel down and whenever you feel regretted, sit and tell yourself that I had many regrets of my mind did which clearly means I know precisely about my mistake/fault/did and now there is no way to make them affix. So optimum way is to learn a lesson from it and move on but because if I'm not able to change or do anything them it doesn't make any sense to spoil my good moments or present on it. So develop a habit to move on.
Regarding any thing sit and think that- does it make any effect on me in my nearest future? You'll find mostly no. So on each no there is no need to spent more than 2 minutes for thinking. This damn thing is not making any difference or impact on my near future wo why I should waste my time on it. I had to do a lot of things. So develop a habit of thinking at the most for few minutes on any irrelevant topic. No need to spend more. By practicing you can can cultivate it from 2 to 0.
I would have make it huge/best. Forget your every would. Many times we heard from doctors that “I would if I could” now he is no more. If dr. Wastes his time on that “would” then he has to say many times that would. If he went in his past and not able to do his duty precisely then result is another would- failure.
If we are dreaming a speed of 400 km/h while riding a Lamborghini then first we have to push accelerator properly. Without pushing it we can't achieve that high speed. while we are dreaming( of future) we are not concentrating on our main work. So for 400kmph push your accelerator perfectly. If you don't focus on your present that how would you make your future best? So say everyday loudly “ I have one very good opportunity to secure my future by living my present at best.”
Be a child of your world. Don't care about others and make sure that nothing can make you bother without your permission. So no need to shift from present due to others. Last one . “If you are too focused on the destination, you'll miss on the journey.” Live your journey and make it a habit. Let us ask a question. Did you come up with it all by yourself, cause most people doesn't even realize that they live in their head even if someone tells them, and the answer is simple, you want to enjoy life more, you have to not listen to your mind anymore, it sounds simple but it's not easy to do, your mind is not you and you have to realize that, whatever the mind thinks of, that's not you.
If you let those thoughts define who you are, you have already let your mind control you, this is a little hard to grasp but, basically don't listen to your mind, listen to you instead, and in order to listen to yourself you have to be aware of yourself, but to make it easy, just be aware of your actions and meditate a lot, 10 min a day at least, and just be aware that you are there right in that moment, don't let your mind trick into feeling or doing anything, just be aware or know that you are there at that moment, now keep it simple.

Now that's how you can enjoy every moment of your life, simply be aware of yourself, and simply do what you want, not your mind, what you want, your mind is incomplete and so does everyone else, it just is an endless stream of thinking, comparing, limiting belief, self-sabotage, confusing, competitiveness, and all that, and if we give into our minds, we will never be complete and we surely will never enjoy much in life, but if you don't give into it, every moment of life is enjoyable.
Lastly a little bit about my story, I was too stuck in my head, and as the result of that, everything in life was a nightmare, could not get a girlfriend, other that looks down on me, my social life suffered a lot, my health was poor, and the most important of all I could most moment of my life back then was spent in unhappiness, all of that because I let my mind take me over, later in life at the age of 24, I began meditating because I am Buddhist, they taught me meditation at the temple, I realized a lot of things in my life, like I don't have to stay home feeling bad about myself, I didn't choose that, it was my mind, and that was when I understood I had to part myself from my mind, and from there.
I noticed something strange, as my inner state changed, my outer state changed too, like people began paying me more attention, I started being more social because people wanted to hang out with me, girls were more down to date me, and I finally got a girlfriend, people just didn't look down on me anymore, and of course I didn't think it came from just that alone, after I realized that I started to seriously improve my game and social skills, but I would never do that if I didn't realize that little thing, if I didn't realize it, I think I would just have been the guy sitting at home all day and never socialize with no girls ever given him a chance.
Learn how to breathe differently than you are now. Proper breathing will help you a lot in feeling safe and present and will definitely get you out of your head. It’s really worth implementing in your life!
Second, you need to learn to face your fears instead of attempting to figure them out and how you can avoid them. Life will bring up fears in us constantly. So it’s worth learning how to feel your fears when they come up. By doing that you’ll come to understand you’re always going to be safe, despite how you’re feeling in that fearful moment. I’m talking about breathing deeply and opening to feeling your fears, not denying or ignoring or suppressing them. We have to go through them before they truly dissipate and we become free from them.
Last but not the least, don’t over-analyze what I’ve said here!! Just read it, breathe and integrate it and then implement it. You won’t be perfect with either point and that’s okay. It’ll take practice. Most likely a lot. Because this is a well-ingrained habit. Just get going with each one. Replace your old habit (it’s just a habit—it’s not a personality trait!) of thinking about everything with a new habit of opening to doing and experiencing what then comes! Cheers!
Love this. Enjoying the moment is a good habit.
