You can die on purpose to live your best life, moment by moment.

My brain will hold me captive if I let it. Thoughts race around my mental track colliding into whatever they try to pass. It’s these persistent, constant, nagging thoughts that limit my ability to appreciate the most precious moments in life.

It’s stressful.

Die on purpose to the rush of time.

To live for right now, you have to make a conscious effort to stop.

You have to shift away from being mode. Just watch this moment. Don’t try to make it something. Don’t try to change it. Just be.

This is present-moment awareness.

By dying now in this way, eliminating time from your consciousness, you become more aware.

“By taking a few moments to ‘die on purpose’ to the rush of time while you are still living, you free yourself to have time for the present,” writes Jon Kabat-Zinn in Wherever You Go, There You Are.

Let Go

“The best way to get somewhere is by letting go of trying to get anywhere at all.”

You are already here. When your mind isn’t foggy from unnecessary things, you’re living your best life. Acknowledge what is happening is happening.

Remind yourself: this is it.
