One step at a time, live in the moment

I have to admit I am totally clueless here - I don't even know Italian. Still, I need a catchy Italian phrase for the English "live in the moment", or "one step at a time". Would living momento per momento be a good way to put it? Grazie mille.

Comment: "I am really not in a position to reflect upon the merits of each particular translation, but rhythmically this fits my sentence best, so that's what I am going to use. Many thanks."

: anche quella di Beppe non è male ma la tua rende meglio un momento preciso, quasi a dover assaporare ogni singola cosa. Presente è più generale.

Fai una cosa per volta, goditi l'attimo
In a poetry context that sounds good to me, like a "Carpe diem" thought

vivere nel momento
"live in the moment" è un'espressione usata dai consulenti di lifestyle (molti ghits, v. un esempio sotto) e anche in italiano, se si vuole dare questo senso di avere il controllo della propria vita anzichè il generico 'carpe diem, goditi la vita e infischiatene del domani', viene usato "vivere nel momento". Prova a cercare su google anche in italiano

Soory, in Engllish. Live in the moment is frequently used in English with lifestyle connotations, see the lifestyle guru in my web ref. If you mean it in this sense of being in control of your life rather than the carpe diem (eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die) sense, then there are lots of Italian ghits for "vivere nel momento".
