A thing to think about - Now

Written by Peter Moore

Now

What I mean by this is being in the present moment – the now. Don’t worry about the past. It’s water under the bridge. It can help us with learning what to do differently (learning from our mistakes…etc). What we need to be is present to what’s happening around us and in our own lives. When someone is talking to you are you really listening to what they are saying, or are you thinking about what you are going to say next? If you have children and they are talking to you are you really listening to them, or is your mind thinking about all the chores that need doing?

You see, the now is the present moment. It’s the one thing that you can affect right away. How you act and respond in the present moment can make a massive difference to your life and to those you interact with.

This concept is very powerful. Once you understand this then you are fully in charge of the present moment. A lot of people don’t get this. Their minds are not focused on the present moment. Everyday they could be missing out on loads of opportunities to living a wonderful life. All because their mind is reminding them about a similar situation that happened in the past, or something they have been dreaming about in the future.

They are not fully focused on their listening and interaction. They are focused on what their mind is telling them, not about what it is they are doing or what is happening about them.

With practice you can work at being in the present moment. You can assign the past to the past and leave it there and you can use your goal setting to enable you to turn your dreams into reality.

Beyond Cultural Stereotypes: Is There Something Else a Coach Should Know About? Author : Eugenia Tripputi
If I counted the times I have been asked to give a quick answer to the question “How do we coach multicultural clients,” and transformed that inquiry into money, I would be rich! The reality is that, as much as I would like to give a quick response, the answer is complex. In my academic teaching years, I was routinely invited to educate on the topic because – you guessed it– I am a minority. True, having to live as such and being a former th...

How to use the energy of your voice Author : Heather Dominick
Six years ago, when I first started making changes in the way I lived my life, I focused on the first thing that came to me: Food As Fuel. But I quickly learned that living a rich life meant looking at… …my Life Energy. "What?” "What is this about?" I thought. "Don’t we all ‘just live’ and whatever happens, happens?" Then after a few months of eating all the “right” foods I realized I needed to learn more about my energy so I could le...

Shuffling or Dancing? Author : Carol Welsh
As I entered the restaurant, I looked for the hostess so I could inquire as to where the Shrine Club of Daytona Beach was meeting.

When I asked a waitress for the location, she pointed at the hostess, who was helping an elderly man walk to the private dining room. She held his arm while he steadied himself with his cane in his other hand. I wasn't...
