If and when you do exist in the future it will be the present so won't be the future anyway.

Taking a few moments to pause and observe nature can improve your mood. Literally 'stopping and smelling the roses' or noticing things like a bird, a house plant, a dandelion in the side-walk, or just the sun shining through the window can boost your happiness and well-being.
