The Power of Now: How Living in the Moment Can Help Reduce Stress and Increase Happiness

By Anthony Langmartey

'Benjamin Franklin' once said, "Don't put off until tomorrow… What you can do today."

That is correct! The present is your gift, the past, your lessons, and your driving force is the future.

But too many individuals today remain stuck in the past or live in a fantasy version of the future, procrastinating from taking any meaningful action.

You may unavoidably invite failure and losses to your life as you put off achieving your goals in life. Losses in terms of money or time, both of which represent very important resources in your life.

Living in the future and procrastination seem to indicate more 'hidden' issues than you may be led to believe.

Everybody wants to have a happier and more prosperous life. The problem is that this still looks to be a dream. People frequently struggle to handle the actual pressures. To make matters worse, it appears that people are now turning to "false cures" like alcohol to lessen the awful sensation they have when they put off tasks or procrastinate.

A generation of dysfunctional people that have a wide range of disorders that cause emotional problems and social stigma are something the globe is helplessly battling.

Nevertheless, things shouldn't be this way! You now have the power to regain control over your life and find the success you have always desired.

Enough of unhappy people who are too afraid to live! Enough of seeing so many people failing to experience every moment of their lives and make things happen for themselves.

Introduction

‘Benjamin Franklin’ once said, Don’t put off until tomorrow... What you can do today.

There’s another quote by Mark Twain that affirms what Benjamin Franklin said, and it goes like this: Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.

What inspiring words from these individuals who accomplished so much.

The fact is that these formerly successful people are aware that time is limited and are attempting to spread the important message to those they know that if they wanted to achieve any kind of success at all, they needed to act now and live each day to the fullest while working towards their goals.

That is correct! The present is your gift, the past your lessons, and your driving force is the future.

anxiety, and fear related to failure,

unrealistic expectations andpersonal problems,

negative beliefs about one’s capabilities, 

and perfectionism

A study conducted by Darius Foroux on 2219 people revealed that around 88% of the workforce tend to procrastinate at least one hour a day. Further,
