Being and living the present brings incredible benefits, however, enjoying the good times of life remains a difficult task.
This is seen in patients who visit psychology practices, when they present anxiety as the protagonist of their life, or talk about how sadness has been embedded in their shadow.
- In addition.
- We also detect this difficulty in common and shared habits.
- Have you noticed?How about learning to enjoy the good times of life?.
We remember with nostalgia the past, those moments when we laughed so much that “my belly hurt”, and others that we wanted eternal. We imagine and do a thousand projects for tomorrow, hoping they will be perfect and unique, which also requires difficult preparation.
Thus, we spend time remembering and imagining, immersed in the memory of what has already happened.
We must recognize that we have all remained faithful to the past at some point in our lives, there is no problem, after all, we are human beings and, as such, defined ourselves from our memories.
As we live, it is tempting to go back in time when we do not find stimuli of positive feelings in the present, so we cling to good times (good memories), as if they were our most precious treasure.
The problem arises when the desire to stay in the past hinders our growth, so we are waging a battle that risks harming our psychological health, especially when we obsessively relive the past.
Thus, there are memories that awaken emotions that give us great discomfort. We talk about sadness and guilt, that undermine our attitude, especially if we don’t know how to deal with them.
? He didn’t do it because he couldn’t do it. Everything you’ve done in the past is perfect based on the level of consciousness you had at the time.

We’ve all been through this mental cycle. Thoughts happen continuously, causing too much concern for the future.
This habit, widespread in today’s society and framed in the dominant way of life, condemns our minds to spending resources on a state of continuous vigilance.
The future is frightening and fear is inspired by the imaginary conception of “the most terrible threats”. We are talking about a strategy that, as a species, we use many times to survive.
However, this strategy fails when we cannot generate some tolerance to uncertainty or use anticipation to develop prevention strategies and reduce anxiety.
“True generosity to the future is in living the present. “Albert Camus?
The only reality that we can change with behavior is today, that’s where life happens, that’s what happens now as you read these lines, we can only enjoy every moment we live, because at the end of the day life is made up of that, little moments.
When traveling back and going, it is important to use our ability to objectively recognize the obstacles that lead us.
Therefore it is essential to learn to disconnect our emotions from the situation and identify new ways to move forward, one of the keys to achieving this is to dely into the present and enjoy the good times of life.
We know it’s much easier to talk than it is, but with practice, we can all fit this behavior into our repertoire. The first step may be to accept the idea that there is nothing wrong with having changes in our path.
Life is made of change and evolution and, from the present moment, we will build the future.
“The past is gone, which you hope didn’t happen, but the present is yours. “Arabic Proverb?
Francisco Alcaide, in his books and lectures on leadership and administration, speaks clearly about how we can manage our emotions and have control over our lives:

Many times we have to stop the inertia of our focus and reorient its jumps, stop this turmoil, or at least the pernicious internal dialogue to which we can get used to it, is fundamental.
Only from this position can we adopt a perspective that allows us to immerse ourselves fully in the present moment.
For this, we can resort to mindfulness. It is a technique that helps to become fully aware of the present moment, this will give us the calm to react, not just react, to the circumstances that arise.
We just have to stop and think about every moment that makes up our lives, and if we look at them closely, the best ones are the randomly colored ones, we’re not looking for them, but we find them while we lived, here. And now.
