I think it would.
Living in the Now (for me) really just means experiencing the moment. It is not dwelling on the past, and it is not hoping for the future. When we get caught up between either thinking in those two timelines, we miss what is going around us in the moments that are now . . . Then Now . . . And so on.
So, the "Now", for me, is focusing on life that is currently happening around you. Should we live in the Now all the time . . . Probably not a good idea, since we have to plan certain things, events and such. Also, fond memories are very nice to revisit from time to time. It just means being more sensitive to something going on right at this moment and enjoying that.
Last week, I woke up every morning at 6:00 am to bring my dog to the beach. From the feeling of my feet sinking into the wet sand, to closing my eyes and taking in the cool salty air . . . The sounds of the surf and the chatter of the sea gulls. Opening my eyes to the sun peeking behind clouds and it reflection on the on the bay. Without getting blasted by all the responsibilities of a normal work day, I found it so much easier to focus on those immediate moments.
Time still ticked away, and one moment moved back as I greeted the next to come . . . And the next.
