Now or Never

 


  The mindset of doing now is wonderful and can lower levels of stress and anxiety. However, most of us have a tendency to live in the past or the future. How often do you think about what happened yesterday? How often do you think about what might happen tomorrow? So, how exactly can we live in the present when our mind is constantly worrying about the past or future? 

  Living in the present moment can help you get back into living mindfully. Well, as the old saying talking is easier than doing. Learning how to be more present is not always easy. If you are the kind of person whose mind wanders and always imagining or thinking about something, here are some strategies that can be tried.

  Don't put your dream off until tomorrow. If you have a goal, a dream, or a bucket list it's important to take the steps to achieve it. Make the first steps, spend some time considering the ways to make them real, and celebrate the satisfaction. Luckily, with the internet available today, it will be easier to get the resources and information available to get started. Just do it before too late. 

  Focus on one thing at a time. It may feel more productive to multitask and work on more than one thing at a time, but it will be harder to juggle multiple tasks in the present moment. If you are working on something, give it all of your attention. While doing something that requires your full attention can seem overwhelming at first, be aware of how much more productive you are when fully engaged in a task. Studies show that when you are fully focused on what's happening at that moment, you can better remember details in the long term. 

  Be grateful for what you have now. This part of living in the present moment, taking time to be grateful for what you have now, not in the past nor in the future. If you are focusing on things you don't have, you are not taking the time to appreciate what you have at this moment. Living now and being able to do now is a give from nature that we are still living in this beautiful world.

  You have to live it day by day, moment by moment. If there is something you want to achieve, the experience you dream of having, a great moment to get, the opportunity you imagine creating, start thinking about it seriously right now and do it. Make each day matter, live your life fully and you are less likely to have regrets. Thank you for your time have a nice day 😀. Just do it Now or Never!

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart...

About Telekinesis

    Have you ever dreamed to able moving objects around with your mind, like in a film? The power of telekinesis has captured the imagination of scientists, psychics, and fiction writers for centuries unproven by science.   So what is the definition of telekinesis? Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement". If we combine together, it refers to the apparent ability to move physical objects using only the mind and without any physical interaction.   The idea of telekinesis has been in the imagination of fiction writers for ages, allowing the characters to demonstrate telekinetic abilities to move objects, restrain opponents, and levitate for dramatic effect.   However, many have claimed to have telekinetic abilities and believe that telekinesis is possible, but no one h...
