Taking Life One Hour At A Time
For a number of years, I spent a great deal of time looking ahead.
I mean, if I wasn’t reminiscing on my past, I was looking ahead into my future…
So, it has taken me a long time (such a long time in some respects), to begin to root myself in the present—where I “truly” belong!
I have been saying “one day at a time” for years, but I was not really following that sentiment.
Now, I am beginning to take life not only “one day at a time,” but also, “one hour at a time.”
Thus, all of my “preparation” statements have not been in vain!
I can do this! I may not arrive there overnight, but I can get there…
I am not so sure there is a spot for “there,” but I know that there is a feeling for “being” in the present moment.
And, for me, that’s taking life “one hour at a time.”
How about you? How do you take/handle life’s daily challenges?

I like to self-reflect.
I am into personal development (and, I am working to become more consistent).
I have a BA in Psychology.
I enjoy reading.
I love to listen to music!
I write Prose poetry.
My favorite foods are Vietnamese and Thai.
"You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You will only be criticized by someone who is doing less than you."
I find that, in a sense, unpredictability keeps me in the present, because I haven’t got the foggiest idea what the future is going to look like.

Definitely. I would prefer this all to be easier than what it is. For all of us.

I get stuck in the past or fearful for the future. I’m training to live more in ‘today’. Living in the hour would be awesome!

I’m so happy to read of your positivity and for taking life one hour at a time. I love being in the present and try to stay there as long as I can, little times throughout the day. I love visualisation too, which helps keep me present too.

Yes. Those are all good ideas. I can only do life a day or hour at a Rome. 🙂
