There was a time where I focused way too much time in the past. The past year or so I’ve been trying to change that and have been doing a pretty good job of it. I try to focus most of my time in the present, but having 3 kids, some of my time has to be focused in the future too. I just try not to dwell on the future and live in the moment.

I try to work on letting go of the past, but am not always successful. And I worry too much about the future. I guess I really need to try to enjoy the NOW more!

I dunno, that’s a question to think about. I guess in the past year we have focused on the past more than usual, because we had a falling out with family and it has been hard. But its almost been a year since then, so I want to try and look forward and realise how the experience has changed us for the better in many ways. We really should focus on the present more, and all we should be thnkful for. And we often think of the future, usually in times of stress, worrying about money and such, but I think everyone does that…

I focus much on the present because I know days go by very fast and before I know it, I’ll be facing the mirror crying at the sight of my wrinkles and grey hair!

That’s a toughie…I love my life, but I have fun reminiscing about good times, and I excitedly anticipate what the future holds…

I focus ONLY on the present. Sure, I consider the past so I dont make mistakes and prepare for the future, but i live in the moment.

That’s pretty tough… a little of all three i guess… I cherish the past, enjoy the present, and plan for the future..
before kids, i looked to the future ALOT… but now with the girls (especially since they’re only 10 months old) I HAVE to focus more on the present… not enough time in the day to worry about the past or think about the future…lol..

Definitely the future. I am always looking forward to the next step in life. I need to keep reminding myself to enjoy the moment.

I focus most on the present. Can’t change the past, and some times the future seems so out of reach, so I will live for the moment!
Great question!
