As you look back over holidays, do any times stand out over others? Perhaps as you think of them, you will realize, those were the times you were the most present. Maybe a loved one visited from out of town and you spent quality time with him or her. While you were conversing with this person you probably weren't ruminating over past mistakes or mind-racing about future problems or concerns. You were enjoying the moment instead.
When we put our attention in the moment, we enjoy our lives more and have more energy for the future. (Which we can live happy moment to happy moment then.)
I used to spend so much of my time worrying about the past and fearing the future, that I couldn't enjoy the present. So notice when you have been the happiest, and perhaps it has been when you were the most present.
Find something to focus on in the "now" and enjoy all of your moments.
