How much time do we waste feeling guilty or angry over the past or worrying about the future? Each moment as it comes can slip away from us when we are lost in such anxious thoughts.

To Be Here Now means to focus fully on each moment as it occurs. The past is gone and the future is but a dream. This very moment, right here and now, is where we have to live our lives.

We can help ourselves concentrate on the present moment. Activities that engage us fully and keep our minds focused make it hard to dwell on our imagined worries. We can play basketball, plant a garden, or paint a room. We can clean our closets and give the things we no longer use to a charity organization. We can refinish a table, re upholster a chair, or take an exercise class. We can Be Here Now.

"I now focus fully on each present moment as it occurs."
