You actually concentrate on them even better because you are not letting invading, worrying thoughts from the past and future come in and mess up your concentration. There really is no sense in worrying anyhow, because that does not change what IS. and what IS is always in the present moment. it is all that exists, so if you are getting sued, fully concentrate on getting sued when you have to deal with the legal issues, but when you are doing other things concentrate on those things too and forget about the past, haha. And remember to take a few moments for your self each day and just feel your body to get in the present moment, it feels great. you are a child of the universe, there is no need to worry.

Are you reading new earth? Anyways IMO before you can put something in the past you need to be able to accept it for what it is, and heal from it. So to say if you just ended a relationship, and you are just forced to move on, it will be in the present moment until you heal from it. What I'm trying to get at, something could be very well in the past, but it will keep on resurfing until the issue is healed. In reality for me anyways I just can't have something that is going to effect my emotions just forgot about by moving on just like that. Yes I can very well push it to the back of my mind, but the truth is, it will be there. I do feel that I live in the present moment. If I lived all in the past I would probably drive myself crazy. I would also like to comment about trust. I can't speak for anyone, but myself. I have trust issues for a lot of reasons that I have accepted, but have left scars. For someone like me I'm not just going to open up to my significant other and spill on him everything. Yes it does come into play with my relationship with my bf, and some of his issues do to. I guess a good way of putting it, is that I now trust myself not to completly trust someone completely. Most people can't deal with the entire whole truth. If that makes any sense.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
