It can be hard to live in the now. Daily existence is filled with constant struggles that not only preoccupy our time but overwhelm our minds with worries and obligations (like the impending doom of our upcoming election). But that shouldn't stop you from trying to live that hakuna matata life.

So next time you're stressing out and reaching for that fourth cup of coffee to keep you going, trying slowing down instead. Try not to focus on the future and what lies ahead and just think about now. Take your tasks one at a time and learn to just chill.

Tragedy & Hope wants to inspire you to live in the present moment with this short film accompanied by the words of Ram Dass. By stopping to take a breath with this video it will restore balance to your mind and soul (if you believe in that. If not it's still a break from work).
