We probably all encounter examples that are remarkably similar. We are almost living in the future rather than the present because we are so used to starting a new one before we have finished the task at hand, making plans for dinner while eating breakfast or worrying, buying a new one without doing the things we love so much, and using a higher model of the phone we already have.
We need to act with calmness and acceptance when we normally act hurriedly, out of worry, or out of necessity. Yes, this is the problem I'm currently dealing with, and I need to find a solution as quickly as possible.
The same thoughts are going through my head as I write this article: yes, that is the task at hand, and I need to complete it as effectively as I can. And in order to do that, I must focus specifically on this moment.
The teaching of ATHA YOGA ANUSHASANAM, which translates to "Now, yoga practise begins," is found in Patanjali's yoga sutras, widely regarded as the founding text of modern yoga and the source of my inspiration for earlier works.

All you need to do is be persistent, give everything you have to your relationship, accept all the challenges, and make the decisions you say you can't. If that doesn't work, the page will turn on its own.Being slow, assured, and aware will bring healthy change on its own as opposed to attacking here and there in the hopes of success. By living in the present, we will experience this beneficial change.
