EP 626: Dwelling in the Present Moment - Where all the Action is

There are many ways in which Social Media reflects life, but perhaps none so much as it is for a content creator!

\\n

It seems like every day I see a video (or five!) where someone is saying that when they get so many likes or followers or views, they\\u2019ll do this or that thing to celebrate.

\\n

Of course, this reflects the way many people live (I know I lived this way for decades!), as we think all day about what\\u2019s going to happen in the future:

\\n

That future job\\u2026

\\n

The future family\\u2026

\\n

The future vacations (My favorite is thinking this while on an actual vacation!)

\\n

As I mention in today\\u2019s video, there is nothing wrong with planning for the future.

\\n

But when the future fills our present-moment awareness, as Alan Watts has said, we wind up thinking about our lives instead of living our lives.

I hope you enjoy today\\u2019s episode:
