In a post on this site, someone sought a futureteller to know what will happen to him/her an hour, a day, a month, or even a year later.
Here are three zones of life where each one of us chooses to spend most of our day. Which one will you choose to spend your day? Please read on; mine at the end.
Zone #1:
Try to dwell on your past life experiences and you develop anger, regrets, sadness, depression, or other negative emotions. In this zone, you can't change anything that has already happened.
Zone#2:
Then think too much about or seek to live in the future that doesn't exist, and you develop anxiety, worries, and fear. Don't be fooled, you have no control over anything in the future. And you don't even know if you will live until the next hour, next day, next month, or next year. So why try so hard to live in a place that doesn't exist?
Zone#3:
But try to live in the present, in the moment here and now. Spend time focusing on the present or just be present. And you feel peace, calm, relaxation, contentment, hope, happiness. Even your blood pressure becomes stable or it decreases, and you are able to love people better. Research has proven that you accrue these benefits by spending most or all of your time in a day in this zone. The monks and people who meditate have understood how medicinal it is to live in the present.
I prefer to live in zone#3, in the present, in the here and now, because it helps me worry less, feel peace and calm, experience joy, and even love better. I will do it all over again this 2019. And you?
