Living in the present is an essential part of attaining purpose and contentment in life. It should be seen as a vehicle to avoid anxiety and depression caused by either trying to change things that have already happened or worrying about situations that may not even occur. To truly connect yourself to the bigger picture and moments that matter, prioritizing the present moment can help you strive towards a greater goal without being weighed down by the past or fearing the future. When people strive to stay centered and grounded in the moment they open up their awareness to experience life on a deeper level and understand the bigger picture.
