I've recently realized that I get a better feeling when I add "now" to the end of my affirmations.
For example : I am happy NOW or I am healthy NOW. I suggest that you try it. Adding now brings sense of power and love or even peace that I just cant explain.
No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope and fear;
But grateful take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
John G. Whittier
Being present and in the Now is one of the best things you can do to improve your life. I know its hard, TRUST ME, I know. Attempting to say in the present moment is a great challenge for me. However, I am sure that it can be done. Okay, the present moment can be a bit boring like it is right now in my house. Its really quiet, I can hear the activity from outside (cars, planes, kids) I can see the trees bouncing lightly back and forth through my window. All these things believe it or not brings this peacefulness and a profound feeling of well-being.
My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened. - Michel de Montaigne
One thing that you must do in order to stay present is to appreciate life for what it is instead of living in your head and creating a "false" world. The things you are thinking about sometimes aren't necessarily real, people create a false realities for themselves all the time. Either because they are trying to escape reality or they are thinking about the past or dreaming of the future.
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.~Benjamin Franklin
Worrying prevents us from being present because in our minds we are trying to figure out how to fix what it is we are worrying about. Some benefits of being present that I've noticed are....YES! You've guessed it... FEWER NEGATIVE THOUGHTS!!!! yay!!!Instead of being stuck in your head, your focus is outside and in the present moment. Hence, there is somewhat of a blockage to negative thoughts but they are never too far off.
If you don't like something change it; if you cant change it, change the way you think about it.~Mary Engelbreit
For motivation to stay in the present moment I always try to look for the beauty in my surroundings. If there is anything wrong think of ways to make it better or just SIMPLY CHANGE THE WAY YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT! Also, looking at things from different perspective keeps you in the present moment longer.

Add the word "NOW" to your affirmations. Even Try to think of the word "NOW" through out your day to bring you back into the present. Don't forget that the Present is A Gift.
