Many of us living in one day at a time recovery know the importance of the present moment. Very often the present is all that we have. Our difficulty is the present we are focusing on is really the future or the past. Present worry of the almost now, or the future now, can make living difficult in what we could call the anxious now. An unresolved, or unaccepted past can bring us into a regretful now. Neither are the now we have to experience. Calm breathing, pleasing surroundings, and focused sensory observations, in a viable fitting environment, bring us into the gift of the present moment. We use our senses to be aware. Stepping into awareness of the present moment leads us into dealing with life’s difficulties. We all have them. It’s reality. It’s acceptance and letting go. We need visit that present moment when we can. It’s important.
