Instead of looking down all the time, you lift your eyes and really see. So yes, I would say it has made a difference to staying in the now, however, I will add that over different periods of time other things have become that distraction which has led me away from being in the noe. xx Johanna JSimp11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00917832527620962166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28777689.post-3122395525985731742013-10-10T13:01:12.344+11:002013-10-10T13:01:12.344+11:00Hi Dana,

Obviously I have to look at the time sometimes :). But living in the now makes me feel more connected to the rhythm of the nature, listen to my own body, my intuition, and it´s easier for me to connect with my timeless inner center. <br />Thank you very much for your posts.<br />Regards.<br />Lo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28777689.post-58255333916421056562013-10-10T00:53:18.858+11:002013-10-10T00:53:18.858+11:00Haven't worn a watch in over a decade, since I...Haven't worn a watch in over a decade, since I last had a job where I did need one. At first, I remember finding it funny that I was constantly checking my wrist out of habit - even sometimes when I wasn't even really looking for the time. I moved from wristwatch to tiny pocket watch that I could pull out when I needed, but wasn't quite so everpresently THERE/asking to be checked. As you said - so many clocks on all the gizmos now, you really aren't much of anywhere that doesn't have loads of them. And, truth be told, I wish many of them had the option to turn the derned clock feature OFF, because why do I need three clocks in one room coming off of three different devices anyway!!! However, the one funny thing now is that I'm now looking to go back to the wee pocket watch. Not because I really *want* to in many ways, but now that one of my bubs is older and in afterschool sports, I'm finding I need to have a bit more awareness of what the clock says whilst sitting on the side of the playing field so that I'm not late picking up one or the other. For people who are constantly on their mobiles and such, this isn't an issue, but I am one who usually has my mobile buried deep in my bag (if not off) so much of the time because I don't like to be bothered with it unless it's a true emergency where I'm expecting a call, that it's too much of a PITA to check that vs. the wee watch method, and one feels a bit awkward asking someone ELSE to dig out their mobile just because you don't want to dig out yours LOL. And lastly, the only important thing is to have at least ONE clock in the house that doesn't rely on electricity or a device which must be charged because in a power outage, one suddenly realizes the value of the good old fashioned wind up, wee battery using ones, or the ones which only require solar or your own body movement etc. But yes, overall VERY liberating not to live by clocks as much as one can manage it! :-)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801951801668588838noreply@blogger.com
