Be Like Dogs: Living In The Now and Accepting Reality
Most people don't even realize it... but they really, if ever, actually are living in the moment. And the funny part about that is that it is ALWAYS now. It is never the past and never the future. Every moment is always right now.
Yet very few people ever live in the moment. Many are constantly thinking about the past... or thinking about the future. Or if they are living in the now it is to avoid living in "their" now. In other words, they'll often watch television or movies to live in a false reality or avoid actually experiencing their own reality.
But how often do people really, actually live in the moment? It's so rare that most people usually remember when it happened. When was it? Usually during a shocking event that shook them into the now. They remember that. And they remember how it felt. And, even if the event that happened was a bad one many people will remember how alive they felt at that moment in time.
That's living in the now.
You can live a lot more in the moment. It takes a lot of practice but it can be done. Dogs do it their entire life... and look how happy they are!
In today's "walk and talk" with my ever happy dogs I discuss how I now live much more in the moment and don't allow any worries of the future to enter my head for more than a few seconds... and it has resulted in attaining a much happier state of mind. It's even improved my relationship with my loved ones.
You can hear my experience here:
I also get into how when not worrying about the past or the future that most people don't accept the reality of the current now for what it is. And that gives them even more stress and unhappiness.
So, don't do that either! Watch the video for some tips on how!
I definitely agree with living in the now. It is good to plan for the future and reflect/learn from the past, but there are limits. You'll get depressed if you live in the past and anxious if you live in the future.

Hi, Jeff. I love your walks and talks. That reaction you had sounded like a healing "crisis" or detoxing. It was good you had it, especially that sweating.
I've wasted so much time worrying about my life and money and what other people expect or think, and since my kids were born I worry about them. I have to work to quiet my mind and that worry. I think it's part of my "pain body" as Eckhart Tolle calls it. I'm half Italian and the Italian side of my family were worryers. It could also be that my adrenals have been down. That affects everything.
I sure as hell don't want any self-fulfilling prophecies concerning worrying. I've noticed for sure that since I've been doing Dr. Morse's protocol, eating almost all organic fruits and 100% raw my mind is quieter. A sense of peace has come over me. Eating high vibrational foods equals a high vibrational life.
You with your dogs remind me of me with mine. I also live in an area where I can walk my perros off leash so they can run free. They get into mischief, though! My oldest dog is 16 and mostly deaf. I still futily call and clap for him to stay near me. The other two don't really listen either. But they have a blast running and sniffing. And, of course, living in the now.
I too have learned something similar from my dog. He hasn't got a care in the world. I try to be like him, to only live in the now.
Hey @jeffberwick , great post!
Completely agree, live in the now and enjoy!

IMO living in the know implies that your not in denial about your life, the situation you are in, and are to some degree objective about what is going on. That's both inside you and outside of you. It brings to mind the Serenity Prayer for me: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." That made a big difference in my being able to accept, and live in the present. So now I'm happy to play with my 2 Yellow Labs, and they are too!
Great food for thought.
My husband was watching YouTube last night. I was listening while in the other room snapping green beans. I walked in to listen more intently about everything we know being a lie- and saw your face, and exclaimed, "He's on my steemit feed! "
I'll admit I hadn't watched your videos before, but after the info last night, I'm a follower. :)
Excelente post.
thank you Jeff for all the info
I'll Accept your reality. Mine is kinda lame.
You create your reality my friend, so you can choose to have an exciting life as much as a lame life - simply by changing your perspective :)
