The Momentary Nature of Life

Hi, welcome back to your Daily Mindfulness. In today's session, we're going to talk about simplifying life. Now, this will be one of those topics that you've heard in a million different ways in your time with Mindfulness.com and through the various teachings we offer. But it's one of those that's really important to come back to. And I don't think we can hear enough, which is the reality that life is always happening in just one moment.

Life is always happening in just one moment. It is so easy to get consumed by and overwhelmed by all the things that we're trying to do in life. These could be positive things, our future goals, what we're working toward. It could be difficult things, things that just feel like out of our control. And we wake up in the morning and it's like, how am I going to be able to take care of all of this? And it often feels like we can't do it all.

The good news is, if you can't do it all, then don't. Just do what you're doing right now, because that's all you can do anyway. And so notice, even as you're listening to this, if there is a sense of everything that needs to be taken care of, everything you need to do. You hardly have time to watch this video or do the meditation. Yes, but you've already allocated this time for yourself.

See if you can just be here, just take care of this moment. All we can do is take care of what's here now. And when we remember this life becomes much more simple. So let it unfold from there. Thank you for your practice.

You're doing great. And I'll talk to you in the meditation. Let's settle in.
