”Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

In this episode inspired by ancient buddhist wisdom, we talk about the fruitless activity of dwelling on the past and dreaming of the future while ignoring the present. “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment” is a reminder that the present moment is the only time that truly exists. By focusing on the present moment, we can reduce stress and anxiety, improve our mental health and overall well-being, and experience true happiness and fulfillment. The ancient wisdom of mindfulness, supported by modern scientific research and psychology, has shown that being present in the moment can have profound benefits for our lives. It must be remembered that past is gone, nothing ever changes the past and the future is not yet here and anything at all small or big can change it completely, so, its only logical to focus on this very moment.
