How To Live In The Present Moment, Version 2.0

Let Go of The Past & Stop Worrying About The Future

How To Live In The Present Moment 2.0 is a great book and I think it will benefit a lot of people. I know I certainly have issues in my past that are unresolved and this book has just given me inspiration to get on with dealing with those issues. It is inspirational on so many levels that there will be very few people who wouldnt find resonance with some part of it. Its written very well and the perspective and narrative is kept to the point, as well as speaking to problems and issues generally encountered.

After I read this book, it made me rethink my current ways and perspectives in life. At the moment I worry too much and can't wait to fulfill my dreams for my future. I have also my own painful past well, I'm sure everyone has and it affected me so much that it's hard to forget about it. It makes sense that in order for anyone to live in the present, one should let go of his past first and not to think too much of the future. I'm sure anyone who reads this will see what I'm talking about. We should all remember to make our present day count, make the most of it and to treasure it, after all it is a present, a gift. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

If you are stuck somewhere between the past and the future, worrying your days away instead of focusing on the present and all the beauty it brings, this is THE BOOK FOR YOU! Life is tricky, it seems as if there is either something in the past we can always focus on, or something in the future we can allow to distract us from the present moment... and from our own happiness. Our lives are so much more wonderful than we give it credit for, and if you cant understand why your life doesnt seem wonderful, its most likely because youre not living it; youre stuck in another time zone. You cant live in the present, the future and the past simultaneously. This book so wonderful and simply explains how you can choose to actively live in the present so that you can appreciate life for all that it is and make the most of time, our most valuable resource.
This is a short read and very informative. Once you start reading, you will easily relate enough to hook you and make you want to keep reading. There is so much enlightening information in such a short amount of pages, it is incredible. Anyone can read it, because no matter how you feel about life, there is always room to grow and improve and change. This may be exactly what youre looking for to either alter your perspective just slightly, or change your life completely.
Life is what we make it... so make it a good one. Now. This book is a great start in the right direction!

I was stuck. My beloved husband died seven years ago: I lost touch with friends; I couldn't live the same lifestyle without the combined income; I had to move and felt as if I had lost everything. I moved and couldn't unpack, couldn't clean or organize. I couldn't stop thinking about what if , if only , what could have been or what the future would bring without a good income and retirement plan (it was all gone). I honestly felt like I was losing my mind. I cried every day in spite of seeing counselors and being prescribed anti-anxiety/antidepressants. But I kept hearing the word mindfulness. I'd been trying to find an audiobook about it because my depression affected my ability to concentrate on reading a long book. This short read was like a pep talk and opened my eyes. I'm sure it'll lead to more investigation into mindfulness but just was just what I needed right now.

I picked this book up for personal reasons. I believe that everybody has some regrets in their past. Be it from a traumatic childhood experience, from a broken relationship or some other reason that hampers us from truly living in the present. So how do we let go of the past, move on and get on with our life with a much better perspective and enthusiasm?
The book delves into the reason why we are having a hard time moving on. It also gives ideas on how you can harness the negative effects and convert it into something positive, and through the correct mindset, you'll eventually have the courage to pick yourself up and move on.

Table of Contents

Preface

How To Live In The Present Moment (Version 2.0) contains proven-to-work strategies for washing away the darkness of your past, transforming your fears for the future into feelings of joy and excitement, and most importantly, steering you into a new life in the present moment. This is the land where you create your future, and wipe away your past. Stories from people I had the opportunity of coaching, as well as my countless struggles and incredible triumphs, will be sprinkled throughout the book to paint a vivid picture in order to inspire. It will bring you more out-of-the-box ideas of how you can easily access and live in the present moment.

You will understand how to completely shift your perspectives on how you feel about your life. Feelings of worry and fear will transform into feelings of tranquility and freedom while youre in the present moment. This will be a journey showing you how the past is like a beautiful old, soft, withered flower filled with wisdom from what youve been through. But your past shouldnt be something to hold on to for too long or replay over and over. Then we will transition into the future, fantasizing about your dreams and desires, while intertwining bits of the incomparable present moment into each of the chapters of the book. You will understand the powerful strategies of living in the present moment and how to apply them faster than you can snap your fingers.

I have kept an effective algorithm in the back of my mind for years now: its that each day 80% of your thoughts should be devoted to the present moment for boosting productivity, engaging in meaningful conversations, and simply enjoying your time on earth; and 10% should be given to learning from the past. Last, but not least, is to give the remaining 10% to the future for planning your day . This is the formula for happiness and peace of mind.
