Live in the “Now” and Not the “Moment”

Live in the “Now” and Not the “Moment”
I keep hearing that we should live in the moment.
That I understand but disagree with, thinking that thought would be better phrased by replacing the word moment with “now”.
Moment refers to a very brief or specific point of time.
Now refers to the present time, and can be extended to a period of time.
Moment can be used metaphorically while now is more literal.
Now brings with it a sense of urgency and immediate action, while moment does not.
Wishes for a great day,
Each one a gift,
