Why is it so Hard to Live in the Present?

Suggested viewing before we meet (4 1⁄2 min video): Why is it so Hard to Live in the Present?

• What is it that makes the present, especially the nicer moments of the present, so difficult to experience properly?
• Why can many events feel easier to enjoy, appreciate, and perceive when they are over?
• In what ways does anxiety affect the present?
• How can our bodies further contribute to our distraction from the present?

Let's be in the present and think about it!

About TWD Online events:

1. Zoom event starts at 3pm pacific
2. From 3p-3:30p, members join the main Zoom room to mingle, watch the video again, grab a beverage and settle in
3. At 3:30pm, the hosts create Zoom breakout rooms where groups of 6-10 members join to have a more in-depth conversation about the topic
4. Between 5 and 5:30, the hosts decide to end their facilitation and leave their breakout room to return to the main room. At 5:30 PM, all of the breakout rooms are closed and members will be returned to the main room for the ‘post discussion party'.
