“Confine yourself to the present.”
Marcus Aurelius · Meditations
What it means today

The past is gone and the future is imaginary; only now is real and available. Nearly all anxiety and regret live outside the present. Pull your attention back to the only moment you can actually act on.

Try this todayWhen your mind drifts to a past regret or future worry, name one thing you can do right now.
