Living in the here and now. A way to healthy living.

Living in the Here and Now. A way to healthy living.

The present we live in, is in reality a patch of overlap of past and future. Pushing past back and future forwards is creating a gap to live in the present. The experience of time is due to the occurrence of day and night in succession. Past and future exist, but only in memory. In reality there is no past and there is no future. There is an ever moving present. We are born every day to a new day. We tend to make too much of life. Life is all about living every day. Life becomes so simple and easy when we live every day for the day.

In times after the second world war electronics progressed to create gadgets that could be programmed. Psychologists of the time got interested in knowing the concept and its relevance in their own field. Thus the science of psycho-cybernetics was born. Our thoughts, our feelings, our enthusiasm of a bright future of lack of it all creates the future that delivers our day in the present. Believe it or not we are continuing building our own life.

Life is decisional. Awareness is the key. Making the right choices and decisions is crucial to changing the course of events for us. Asking a simple question can bring change. Is what I am thinking - productive thinking? Is what I am feeling - productive feeling? Is what I am emoting - productive emoting? Is what I am reflecting – productive reflecting? All types of thoughts, feelings, reflections and emotions fly by the space of our mind. They have only momentary existence. It is only when we hold on to them that they stay. We have a choice to make. Our life changes drastically when we continually make the right choice of harboring healthy thoughts, feelings, reflections and emotions. Our life changes drastically when we continually allow the unhealthy thoughts, feelings and emotions to just fly past. It is easy when we do not make them into issues.

We do have experiences of ourselves, of others and of situations of life. We at times inadvertently make unproductive statements about our ability, capability, and worth among other things. We express doubt to ourselves. Saying what if, is the most common. These lead us to generate views about ourselves, others, situations and quality of life. They reflect our ability or inability to handle life. This is a subtle way in which we make decisions. Decisions are creative. They create events in the future. This process is by way of psycho-cybernetic goal setting.

There is a great opportunity for us to explore. To build a bright future by allowing only productive thoughts, feelings, reflections and emotions to prevail. Good physical, mental, psychological and emotional health is guaranteed for practitioners.
