As the mind approaches a state referred to as, "least excitation," the mind is no longer influenced by the obsessive mental state, from which worry and stress is generated. Instead, the mind is naturally in the Now. As the mind deepens in its state of greater harmony, worry and stress cannot survive, which is the ideal environment for a fulfilling life.

Many studies have shown that the less stress one has in one's life, the healthier and happy a person becomes. Staying in the Now allows one not to worry and stress out about one's circumstances. Life will always have its challenges, but constant worry about what may or may not happen does not bring the peace and clarity one desires.

Living a less stressful life naturally leads to more contentment and fulfillment. Happier relationships, more productivity at work, healthier bodies, and more joy and laughter are but a few of these benefits.

These cumulative benefits from choosing to be in the Now pay big dividends in the form of a healthier and happier life. In fact, not only can we cultivate this state in meditation or in doing yoga, but we can also cultivate the same qualities in our daily activity, which is why we designed the Now Clock in the first place.
