20. Living in the Present Moment Part 2 (Advantages)

Hello Friends,
A very good day/night to you all. You may read the previous post on Living in the Present Moment Here or else continue to read this as it can be treated as an independent one. So here we go.

5 Advantages of Living in the Present Moment:

1. Less time is wasted and lost as you are busy managing tasks at hand. You can move on to the next thing on your agenda quickly. 
2. If it is leisure time you are enjoying that too. So one experiences an increased sense of enjoyment even in ordinary things.
3. More focus and concentration is gained if you are in the present moment. 
4. Even in things which you don't consider top priority being in the present moment helps.e.g. My group dance class is just for fitness and enjoyment but when I mindfully do each and every move even the unimportant ones I find myself being better and better. This also increases my confidence in my physical abilities(nothing to boast about here    ) and fitness level .
5. You are at peace when you are in the present moment. According to Lao Tzu , If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present. (I presume vice verse is also true). 

So let us try our level best to start living in the present moment Zealously and make our life Zesty. What do you feel about the present moment are your opinions different from mine? Please do write and share your feelings. Before I bid adieu here is a quote from the master just for you.

"Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not here and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life."----Thich Nhat Hanh
