WELLBEING TIPS LIVING IN THE MOMENT “The past is history, the future is a mystery, the present is a gift.” At any given moment our minds can be either in the past, present or future. We can be thinking over a memory of something that has happened (past), planning or thinking about something that’s coming up (future) or experiencing what we are doing right now (present). Research shows most people spend little time in the present moment. We can help to give ourselves a break and clear our mind by focusing on the present. For example, if we are worrying about an interview, one way we can control this is by consciously directing our mind to notice the present moment, i.e. what we can see or hear around us. This pauses the worried thoughts and helps us relax. Try living in the moment a bit more and notice how it helps.
