Being in the present moment is highly misunderstood. Why?

The present moment is shaped by what was. When you focus only on the present moment, you only view what is, what is wrong, and what you lack. Things that keep you stuck running around in circles and never getting anywhere.

And yet, you must be in the present moment to be free from the past; it is an essential element in freeing yourself from past trauma and cycles of the past.

"Wait, I'm confused. Didn't you say, 'Focusing on the present moment keeps me stuck?" Yes, it's a paradox.

Let me explain.

When you properly focus on the present moment, you notice and then redirect your mind away from the internal loop patterns of your thoughts, which began in your childhood; it's the way to break free from the unconscious slavery to a mindset that you've inherited that is shaping your continuously unfolding present moment; it helps you to recognize that you are experiencing moments of déjà vu because you are creating your life from events in your past that no longer exists, outside of your mind – you are shaping your World with the ghosts of the past.
