When you are recovering from any physical or mental injury, you judge every second of every day whether you feel better or not, your heart sinks if you feel worse and leaps when you feel better, and this self-monitoring, which comes with many perils of its own, happens every second so that you are truly living in the present moment or what feels like the present moment, which, as we know, does not really exist. The present moment is an illusion like the rest of life, but if we are getting better we don’t care about any of this. When we are not gettin better, we sink into morbid speculation which only makes matters worse.
