Day 28: The Power of the Present (Cleanse, Ford)

Being present in this moment can be difficult. Our thoughts are constantly trying to take us back or forward in time. It can be exhausting. Have you ever been completely present in the moment of now? It feels peaceful. All you have to do is be aware of everything you are doing in this moment. What are you touching with your hands, smelling with your nose, tasting with your mouth? Being aware of your senses will help to bring you into the present. Debbie says that, "Your mind is at rest because there is nowhere else to go and nothing else to do. There is no past to haunt you or pull you backward, And there is no future to wish for or fantasies to maintain." Being completely present means that you are not in denial, not pretending and not avoiding anything in your life says Debbie. If we are to deal with what is right now, then we don't need to carry any past sorrow or pain with us because it would have been dealt with at that moment. We won't need to worry about the future because we will trust that we will be able to deal with it at that moment. This moment is precious.
