How many times have you found yourself unable to experience being present living in the moment you are in? You may regularly go through these spouts of frustration whether you endure your commute to work in a huff and a puff, dread that you will have to indulge in another tedious long day, sigh at the person ahead of you in the grocery store because they are holding up the line with their price check, feel incompetent when you can’t navigate directions to a new place you are driving to, or grow overwhelmed running around trying to take care of one matter after another. After each task gets handled, you may find yourself with thoughts like…
I can’t wait until I get home.
I can’t wait until I can lie down.
I can’t wait until the weekend.
I can’t wait until the holiday.
With all this waiting, what happens to us being present and that moment? We end up wasting throwing away all of this time that could essentially accumulate to half a lifetime eventually, and what are we waiting for anyway that is so important that we can’t enjoy where we are in the moment presently occurring?
