Live in the NOW

I'd like to share another great positive momentum e-mail I got from Bally's this morning:

"Bogged down by heavy thinking? You're not alone. Many of us spend so much time looking back to our "thin" days, or forward to finally fitting into a smaller size, that we lose sight of the here and now. When you stop to think about it, you can't lose weight in the past or in the future, only in the present. So focus on today! Start by creating some positive thoughts about yourself as you are now. These thoughts will serve as inspiration for the journey ahead."


The other day someone was telling me that they are ready to lose weight and that "that's it, I'm going to start tomorrow!" Well...that is wonderful to hear, positive thinking and it's headed in the right direction, but why can't you start TODAY?! Tomorrow is never going to get here and it's never going to be the "perfect" day to start something new, something always will get in the way. So what you've go to do is JUST DO IT! You want to go on diet? start a workout routine? live a healthier lifestyle? Let's go...So what if your breakfast wasn't the healthiest, that doesn't mean that you have to eat an unhealthy lunch and dinner to follow.

Sometimes I used to check myself thinking like that too, "tomorrow I am going to eat so clean!" Okay, get real, TODAY I need to be eating clean too.

Let's all make it a point to live in the NOW. I'll end on a quote from the book, "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle,

"Life is always now. Even past or present moments only exist when you remember or anticipate them, and you do so by thinking about them in the only moment there is: this one."
