Live right here in the now.
Pull your consciousness, awareness, and attention to the now. The present now.
Fear, doubt, and anxiety don't live in the present. Only in the future.
They are untrue and distorted thoughts that are concerned with the future.
Fear of if he will think I'm dumb.
Doubt of if she will like me.
Anxiety of if they are judging me.
All of these thoughts are concerned about the future. They have nothing to do with the present except to control and restrict your behavior, robbing you of being yourself.
Stay in the right now. There is no next minute or next hour.
Just now.
There is no tomorrow or next week.
Solely now.
There is no next month or next year. Only now.
Every moment should be experienced in the present.
Only when we voluntarily focus on the future to set a plan should we allow attention to be drawn away from right now. It should never involuntarily drift off to the future or even the past unless we deliberately choose to shift our attention for the purpose of reflection.
There is no consequence for allowing our attention to drift except that we become at the mercy of our emotions to life's circumstances.
If we have drifted, then when a distorted thought of the future presents itself to your mind, you will experience the negative emotions of fear, doubt, and anxiety. Which can worsen and magnify if you cannot bring your mind back in the present.
If you however, stay in the preset, when a future thought presents itself, you will let it pass by undisturbed. For you know the truth of the circumstance which the thought addressed.
Truth lives in the now.
