If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. Lao Tzu
Living in the now is made more difficult if you pay attention to any form of media whether it be internet, TV and movies.The reason is that that the messaging or the stories that you are exposed to are either about the past or the future.
A small percentage of these stories are empowering and happiness creating and you might find yourself feeling anxious and/or depressed after a session of media consumption.
“In the normal, mind-identified or unenlightened state of consciousness, the power and creative potential that lie concealed in the Now are completely obscured by psychological time. You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be” Eckart Tolle The Power of Now
