We can learn throughout our
lives to savor the moment.
We can get more out of right
now.
Excerpts from the Book:
Ironically, the present is the only
thing we can control.

Each moment is all we really have.
It is important to learn from the past, but it is also
important to not let it distract and take energy from the
present. In short, if you worry too much about the future,
your anxiety can impact the decisions you make today.

Take time to enjoy the moment.
• Enjoy the meal. Interact face-to-face with those you
care about.
• Another exercise is to take a long breath through your
nostrils. Hold it for a few seconds then pucker your lips
and exhale as slowly as you can.
• One way to slow down a hectic moment is to focus on
your breathing.

If we take a few moments each day to do
these simple breathing exercises,
we can train ourselves to relax, focus and
enjoy the moment.

“Walking awareness”
“Walking awareness” is another way of re-centering
ourselves. Notice each step you take. Focus on your step,
your stride. Focus on the way you hold your shoulders
and bend your knees. Be mindful of your every
movement. Relax. Breathe.
These are simple ways of bringing yourself back into the
moment. It can be almost magical when we truly focus on the
moment.
