“With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future.

  I live now”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Is there a way to stop the noise in our minds? Yes, there is a way and it is living in the present moment. All of
our thoughts are either about past or future. The present moment is never the subject of our minds. When we
focus more and more in the present moment, our minds slow down. They don’t create as much noise as before.

- Neither the future nor the past

- It does not make sense to worry about the future, as we don't ever live in the future. We live
only in the present.

- Most of the things we fear don't happen, anyway.

- Besides, the main practical problem with fearing the future is that you think about the
future situation from the thoughts, emotions and beliefs that you have NOW, which will be
different when the future situation comes about.

- So any future you imagine is, in this way, a lie.

Turning to positive thinking, if we are to imagine the future, why not imagining a positive one?

Most of us cannot even imagine stopping our minds for a while. We cannot stop the noise in our heads.
