How to Live in the Moment - Omar Khayyam

How to live in the moment is one of the most searched and talked about topics in today's self-care and wellness movement—for good reason.

Living in the moment reduces stress, elevates our mood and happiness, and creates the space for inner peace to naturally arise and flourish.

But how do we actually do it?

On this episode of Life Talks, we uncover some of the ancient wisdom from the poems of 11th and 12th century Persian poet and polymath Omar Khayyam, and apply this wisdom to our modern lives.

At the end of it, my hope is that you'll have the guidance and inspiration to actually live in the moment and harness the power of now.

So, hope you enjoy this video, and please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe so others can also benefit from this wisdom!
