As a practitioner of Zen Buddhism and someone who has studied the Law of Attraction, Giridhar Mudili understands the importance of living in the moment. He says that focusing too much on the future or past will hinder you from living your life to the fullest during the present, and since the present will ultimately become the past, while also determining what happens in your future, it should certainly hold the highest priority.
Many people refer to living in the moment as the "Art of Now," as it is truly an artform that needs to be perfected, especially considering the many obstacles that a typical busy American faces on a daily basis. By living in the moment, Giridhar Mudili says you'll have more fulfilling experiences in every endeavor you pursue, as your focus and intention will be concentrated into that single moment, rather than distracted by the potential consequences of what will happen in the future, or the perceived shortcomings of your past. Living in the moment gives you the chance to optimize your experiences in life, as you'll be able to work more effectively and get more enjoyment out of your leisure time.
Studies have shown that excessively worrying about what will happen in the future ultimately leads to stress, which has been proven to contribute towards the progression and development of all kinds of detrimental physical and mental diseases. Unfortunately, other studies show that the majority of people spend about half their time thinking about something other than the activity they are currently working on. Mudili says that planning is good to a certain extent, however performing ideally in the moment is even more important than adhering to a predefined schedule of events. Overall, Giridhar says that living in the moment will give you the ability to heighten your enjoyment, reduce stress, and improve your overall quality of life.

Giridhar Mudili Reveals Three Ways to Improve Your Quality of Life
After devoting hours of study time towards learning the principles of the Law of Attraction, Zen Buddhism, The Power of Now, and other groundbreaking motivational schools of thought, Giridhar Mudili has been able to significantly improve his quality of life and the lives of others around him. Although meditation, spiritual progression, physical fitness, and mental edification are all important aspects of self-improvement, there are a few not-so-obvious ways to improve the quality of your life relatively easily:
Wake up Early – since every day starts with the moment you open your eyes in the morning, the first step in improving the quality of your life is broadening your horizons by getting an early start on your day. Studies have shown that people who wake up early in the morning are far more likely to be productive during the daytime hours, and have a higher chance of being in good health than people who sleep in late. By waking up early you are programming yourself to adjust to an ancient sleep cycle that puts your body in tune with the natural rhythm of the planet's rotation.
Find New Hobbies – although most people already have hobbies and passions, finding new ones will expose you to new experiences that will give you the opportunity to meet people and better yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually (depending on the new hobby you choose). Examples of hobbies that will contribute towards a higher quality of life include gardening, hiking, exercising, reading, traveling, collecting, and volunteering.
Banish Negativity –Giridhar says that the most important aspect of improving your quality of life is to banish negative thoughts. Although this may take some practice for people who lead particularly hectic lifestyles, forcing yourself to think positively is certainly worth the mental struggle, as it will ultimately result in more cohesive, constructive, and creative thoughts. If you're constantly worrying about the negative things that have happened or may happen in the future, it's hard to dedicate full concentration towards making your present as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible.
