Many people living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of focusing on the task at hand or, living in the present moment. Such action can be a tool to help us deal with anxiety based on future events. Some of us call it an important part of living one day at a time. Doing what is right in front of us not only helps us by occupying our minds but it might be taking care of what needs to be taken care of for the future. This is the reality of one step, or one action, leading into another causing a progression of actions helping the next step to be done. If this cannot be done, living in the present moment by focusing on the task at hand is at the very least a distraction. Most of the time it works. Peace.
