Greetings
Life is good.
Remember last year when I found that article
about
stepping back? I'd forgotten but . .

Four Steps to Enjoying
Every Moment
All too often people take life, and all of the great
things that it offers, for granted.
People realize how much something means to them
only after it is taken away.
There is a reason for this; it is difficult to
appreciate things in life
because it is difficult to picture yourself
without them.
Don't lose hope, there is an answer. It's called the
Step Back.
This quick system will help you to appreciate your life, and all
that is offers.
Moments filled with happiness and excitement will no
longer
be unappreciated and taken for granted.
1. REALIZE
YOU'RE IN THE MOMENT
The first step is to realize that you are in the
middle of something good.
It could be a beautiful day on your family
vacation,
or a perfect afternoon with your children.
You are the judge
of what moments you'd like to appreciate.
2. TAKE A STEP
BACK
This is the main part of the system.
Once you realize you are
experiencing
a moment you'd like to have last forever,
stop
yourself for a moment and take a Step Back.
Take yourself away from the
situation.
Take a short walk, a quick break, or simply close your
eyes.
Once you are removed from the situation,
think about it as if
it happened in the past.
Picture how happy you were, the details of the
scene,
and the others around you. Feel the emotions you felt,
see and
hear the faces and sounds.
Remember how much you enjoyed the time,
and how much you'd like
to enjoy it again.
3. MAKE YOUR REENTRY
Once you feel the
happiness of the moment,
think about this; it's no longer in the past, it's
right now!
You just thought about how great you felt in that past
moment,
and now you can live it in the present.
You just
appreciated the current moment by looking back on the situation.
Once you
are in the middle of the moment again, remember...
4. ENJOY
YOURSELF
This will be a moment that, like all others, will eventually
pass.
With this in mind, really let it sink in.
Take a look around,
and realize you are in the middle of something great.
Taking a Step Back
every now and then will help you appreciate life.
No longer will you be
one who takes life for granted.
You will make happy moments happier,
and
you will also help to make them last forever.
