We are all living in a time of great uncertainty, filled with the fear of the unknown, of what our future will look like after we all emerge from our forced isolation. And, the natural tendency is to want to either look back and want to live in days gone by or to want to start to plan your future. However, you are missing the present moment which in reality is the only thing that is real. Today, recognize this is not a time to push, plan or reminisce about your past. But rather, to consciously live in the present and to take things one moment at a time. Living in the moment means doing or feeling or seeing or recognizing what’s right in front of you. The important thing is to let yourself experience everything-the good and the bad and once you experience it, then to allow it to pass. Many of us get caught up in our pasts because we did not allow ourselves to live those pasts when they were our present or we believe that they were our best times-of course they are now in this moment, just illusions. Today, live in the present and do not get so caught up in avoiding the danger or real fear in front of you, that you forget to just live. Today live each moment, let them pass, and enjoy the next-one moment at a time.

Just for today, yesterday is in the past. I now turn my total attention to this present moment. I practice forgiveness daily so I can move out of the past and live in this present moment. I love and accept myself exactly as I am and each moment that I am alive is perfect. I am grateful. I am safe and in this moment, all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
