Question
People constantly say we should live in the present. Well, I keep trying, and I recognize that it is the only thing that is real. I also recognize the feeling that arises within me when I do it. Although I cannot describe it, I feel something like a spark inside me, like true freedom. Then I know that is reality, the present moment. But often I cannot live in the present moment, even though I know it is what I want. Why does this happen to me? What can I do to live more in the present and stop overthinking so much? Thank you. I eagerly await an answer.
