Do you want to live in the moment?
When our attention is constantly on thoughts about the past and future, we miss the inherent peace of the present moment. The 5 Steps to the Present Moment can help you to stop believing the thoughts that take your attention and keep you from feeling free, whole, and happy.
Do you want to experience more peace?
It seems as though our anxiety is the product of our situation. However, if we look at our own minds, it is possible to discover that our anxiety is actually created by believing that a specific outcome “would be bad”. To see how others found freedom from their anxiety, click here
Do you want to stop living with anxiety?
Since we look for love, approval, and appreciation to make ourselves happy, we quite naturally worry about disapproval and rejection. If we want to stop worrying about what others think, we need to do recognize that the only way others’ opinions can affect our happiness is if we believe their opinions to be true.

What is the present moment?

The experience of the present moment is what remains in any moment when we have no psychological thoughts, don’t give attention to our psychological thoughts, or don’t believe our psychological thoughts. This leaves us with our attention on this moment, and results in the experience of peace. No matter how “bad” our circumstances may seem, without our thoughts about it, we are happy.

While we are always living in the present moment, we rarely get to actually experience the present moment because our attention is consistently on thoughts of what was “good” and “bad” in the past, what is “good” and “bad” right now, and what may be “good” and “bad” in the future. Watch the Video

The 5 Steps to the Present Moment
1: Pick an unwanted emotion

For example:
• You may want to stop feeling ashamed about some aspect of your life
• You may be tired of feeling anxiety at work
• You might want to stop worrying about what your friends think
• You may not want hold onto your anger towards someone any longer
• You may just want to stop judging yourself or others . Try it for FREE

2: Identify the thought behind your emotion

I provide you with a list of questions to help you find the specific thoughts behind your emotion.

For example, if you are worried about what someone thinks of you, a few of the questions would be:
• What do I want them to think about me?
• How would their love, approval, or appreciation make me feel?
• What am I scared they will think of me?
• How would I feel if they had these negative opinions about me? Try it for FREE

3: Recognize that your emotion has been created by your thought and not your circumstances

I will provide you with 5 questions (and multiple sub-questions) to help you directly discover that your thought has actually created your emotion.

The 5 major questions are:
1. How do I feel when I think this thought or tell myself this story?
2. Could I or someone else be happy despite having the same factual circumstances?
3. If I didn’t know that the event had happened, would I still be suffering?
4. Am I able to be happy (have fun) when I am being entertained and distracted from my thoughts?
5. What are the facts and what are my thoughts about the facts? Try it for FREE

4: Discover that you don’t know whether your thought is true

I provide you with questions to help you stop believing your thought. When you stop believing your thought to be true, it stops creating your emotion, and you immediately come back to the present moment.

Here are just a few of the 35 questions:
• Can I think of a few reasons why the opposite might be true?
• Do I know for sure that this circumstance is “bad” for my life and won’t have some “good” effects?
• Do I believe what I want them to think about me?
• Can I handle my situation in this moment, right now?
• Do I know with absolute certainty what outcome would make myself or others happiest? Try it for FREE

5: Question the truth of any reason to keep suffering

Even though you want to be happy, your mind may try to convince you to keep one of your unwanted emotions by creating an idea as to why it might be “bad” if you lost it. In Step 5, I provide you with questions and explanations to counter the most common reasons our minds use to keep us suffering.

Here are a few of these reasons:
• “I am bad if I don’t get sad”
• “I should feel guilty for what I did”
• “My anxiety and stress is helpful”
• “Worrying is helpful, responsible, and means I care”
• “I want to keep blaming others for my suffering” Try it for FREE

How to Live in the Moment?

Once you see that thoughts are taking your attention and creating your suffering, you can't just get rid of them, silence them, or let them go. You give thoughts attention because you believe them.

If a friend tells you the world is going to end tomorrow, and you believe him, then you will feel fear or sadness. But, if you don’t believe him, you will remain in peace. The same is true of your thoughts. If you are able to disbelieve a thought, that thought will no longer create an emotion, and you will no longer have an incentive to give it attention. As you disbelieve more and more of your thoughts about yourself, your situation, and the people in your life, you can remain loving, happy, and peaceful for larger amounts of time. You can go about your day without anxiety, anger, sadness, and worry.

The less thoughts you believe, the more silence (or space) you will have in between thoughts, and the more you will be living in the moment. As this space between thoughts grows, you experience more ability to love, connect, laugh, feel gratitude, and appreciate the simple things in life. Watch the Video
