Being Present In The Moment

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I hate when someone tells me to "slow down." But instead of thinking of it as "slowing down," think of it as being "present in the moment." Enjoy that moment without distractions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode, we talk about being present in the moment. Someday, that moment will be the last you’ll have with somebody and you’ll only be left with the memories. This is an area that Cristy and Cari have been doing a lot of personal growth in and talking a lot about.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s world, it is very easy to get distracted with all the devices we have and social media. Moments we should be enjoying can pass us by. Social media encourages us to look forward to the next thing without being fully present in the current moment.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, when sharing a meal or talking with a person, it is rude to be on the phone. You are not paying attention to the conversation. Going slow on your meal, enjoying every bite, every taste is a wonderful way to be present and enjoy your food.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be present in the moment you are right now because that moment will not happen again. Spend time with your loved ones and be present. Time flies by and you are only left holding on to the memories of the moments you had. </span></p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don't think of it as slowing down, think of it as just being present in the moment (01:21)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don't want to wish my life away (03:49)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being present with the people around your life and enjoying every moment (07:01)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Social media makes us always look for the next thing without enjoying the present (09:45
