How to learn to live consciously - this is a question to which a person tends to look for answers . A person's ability to truly appreciate all the good in his life is dependent of whether we are with all our senses in the present moment. What do we focus on - past hurts, future dreams or however, be aware of being in the present moment. To live now, to be able to appreciate your riches - the relationship with a loved one, family, friends, colleagues, and emphasize all that is good and beautiful, thereby increasing it.

The answer to the question of how to live meaningfully is quite simple. To be in the present. Which in turn means - to live consciously. Don't dwell on the wrongs of the past, but also don't bathe in illusions of the future. Yes, the future needs to be built in the imagination just like that, who are you dreaming about? However, in order for it to become a beautiful reality and not an illusion, steps must be taken right now - in the present.

Action leads to result.

On the other hand, when you fall in love with ordinary everyday activities, your feelings and thus the quality of life enjoyment will transform in an absolutely incredible way! Being present in every moment of your life, even if it is seemingly boring a thing like washing dishes brings joy. And small moments of joy, in turn, increase the feeling of constant joy. Power for big works. Life pleasure .

Man, as a social being, is born to be overly influenced by what others want, what others will say, what societies are like assumptions and beliefs. But this is exactly how we become unconscious, lost, and find ourselves not living our lives. One of the most powerful keys to breaking out of this vicious circle is to switch to the observer position. Observing not only what's going on, but also your emotions, and not letting them dictate the rules of the game. Looking at everything through the heart, because no matter what it wouldn't sound banal - it has all the right answers. And when we begin to live through the heart, it turns out that it is not at all banal - we didn't even know what it was like!

Let's take a look at the insights of one of the modern spiritual leaders, Eckhart Tolle, about the ability to live in the present - consciously:

• The quality of consciousness in the present moment is the main determinant of what kind of future you will experience.
• Identifying with the mind creates an opaque layer of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments and definitions a wall that stands in front of a true relationship. Relationships with oneself, with other people, with nature and God.
• The present moment is the key to freedom.
• Love, joy and peace are deep states of Being.
• Real love does not make a person suffer. How could it?
• The more you focus on time in the past or the future, the more you will lose from the Present - the most precious thing can only be. Why is it the greatest treasure? Because it is the only one. Life is this moment.
• Narrow your perception of life to just this moment. Try to see if there is a problem with this one at the moment. Not tomorrow or in the next ten minutes, but right now. Is there?
• As soon as you recognize the value of the present moment, all troubles and struggles will disappear and life will begin to seem nice and full of joy.
