Bring awareness into the present moment by noticing your next three breath cycles

image by M. Lee Freedman   “To know your life is to know intimately what you are feeling. Or to put it another way: to be aware of what state of mind predominates in consciousness. The noting of mental states encourages a deeper recognition of what is happening while it is happening. It allows us to be more fully alive in the present rather than living our life as an afterthought. It enables us to watch with mercy, if not humor, the uninvited swirl of “mixed emotions” not as something in need of judgment but as a work in progress.”  -Stephen Levine (excerpt from A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as if it Were Your Last Wishing you present moment awareness    Lee M.
