Wherever you go, wherever you are, bring your presence with you. Be there in the moment. Don't exclude yourself from the present tense. Don't let your thoughts imprison you in the past or the future. Feel being in the "now" with your feelings and thoughts. Life shouldn't be about running away from something or running after something anxiously. Carry your "consciousness" with you. As long as your awareness is high, no matter what you experience, I was there with my existence and my existence made that the time period feel heavy. It has always made me feel peaceful. Maybe 10 years from now, I will read these and say this: I was there in the "now" and felt that moment a lot, and I am here in the "now" and that 10 years never left me :)
