This question may seem a little strange, but do you usually live in the present moment or get stuck in your mind?It seems that between the past and the future, we end up losing the most important thing: the here and now.
Most of us live on autopilot, between yesterday and tomorrow, between what’s exceptional and what we need to do more.
- Living in our minds.
- Hostage to worries and expectations.
- Creates discomfort because we depend on our thoughts.
- So we feel that we are alone when we come across the reality of our existence.
The problem is that there is no magic formula to solve this problem quickly, the secret to really starting to live is in these simple words: get out of your mind and start living the present moment.
To understand this profound message, we can think of the mind as one of our comfort zones. Or rather as an avalanche of thoughts that we collect that prevent us from becoming aware of the present. A mental noise that distracts us and forces us to live in the past or in the future.
Mindfulness is one of the most recommended methods to get out of our mental prison, this practice is not just about sitting, staying calm and keeping your mind empty, in fact, by now, you may have tried to do something like that but you didn’t get any results.
For those who do not master the method of mindfulness, thoughts accumulate, merge and howl from the depths of the mind, this usually happens at the beginning of practice.
The truth is that we are not used to letting our thoughts flow naturally in the mind, without judging or stopping them, only allowing them to emerge and learning to manage their comings and goings can we focus on ‘here and now’.
When you stop judging thoughts and look at them like you’re watching a movie, they’ll stop influencing your reality and the vision will be much clearer. You’ll start to see reality.
“Being conscious means abandoning judgments for a while, setting aside our immediate goals for the future, and leaving the present moment as it is, not as we would like it to be. Mark Williams?
When was the last time you stopped to enjoy the fresh air?Remember being grateful for the hot water you can enjoy taking a shower every morning?Are you sure that doesn’t happen because your mind is thinking??,? Do we have to pick up the children ?, What does it take to buy ?, etc.
If you notice it, your head is full of thoughts about the past and the future, but among all this, you ignore the present in a very cynical way, the stress you experience is created by your thoughts.
Many of the problems you are currently experiencing are created by your mental activity. He’s getting ahead of himself. None of this is real. Until that happens, until it becomes reality, you live in your imagination.
So get out of your mind for a little while! Take a moment to dispel all this mess of thoughts that doesn’t allow you to enjoy and awaken the emotions that bother you.
It’s like when we feel fear or anxiety for no reason. But in our head, we create these stories and believe them so much that we consider them true.

So get out of your mind and dare to live, wait for things to happen before you get ahead of yourself, stop thinking about the past, because it’s not part of the present moment, feel every day like it’s your first time I’ve breathed fresh air, drank water or enjoyed a delicious meal.
Be aware of every moment of your life, even when you’re working. Have you noticed the feeling of your fingers on the keyboard?How do your legs hold you and let you walk?
Start living the moment and connect with your life, connect with yourself and get out of your mind once and for all.
