By posting on our social media we all post about our current moment to let other enjoy and talk about what we did. It feels great to see people like and complement us for our pictures and stories. In these times we talk to friends online and talk about our moments that we share with pictures. Despite this way of communication it is highly advisable to live in the moment from time to time.
Are you going on a nice hike in the open? Consider closing your phone off or remove any sounds on your phone. The world will not end a few hours without a phone. Even better the world will open up completely if you enjoy the moments that you share with your friends and family.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. – Buddha
Thinking, even worse worrying, about the past is the worst thing you can do. What has been done is in the past, and can’t be changed. You can however change your present moment and therefore change your future. It doesn’t hurt to choose some moment to keep your future in mind. By focussing on what is really important for your future in the current moment. Do what needs to be done.
