Guidelines From
Gestalt Therapy
Levitsky & Perls, 1970
1. Live in the here and now.
Be concerned with the present before the past or future. Daydreaming about the past or future distracts and detracts our energies and awareness from the present.
yyyyou are hereeee
2. Live here and deal with what's present rather than what's absent.
One of many avoidance strategies we use is to focus on what is missing rather than on what we have, on who is missing rather than who is here.
IIII am hereeee
3. Experiment with what is real. Stop imagining.
Imagining takes away from what really is and blocks our experiencing and awareness. We sometimes lose sight of what is real for us.
IIII am reallll
