| Just be present. Live in the moment. It’s advice we hear and see everywhere. And you probably say it to yourself often, too, as it helps you focus on the stuff happening in real time. You don’t deny the mindfulness approach or its upside. It’s no-tech. It slows you down. And, when you follow it, it keeps you calm — or at least calmer — with your spouse, kids, and work. But, maybe you resist taking steps to make it a regular part of your life because you’re busy and this is just another thing that requires time and energy you don’t really have.
But here’s the thing: you do. In its simplest form, living in the moment is about being aware of yourself and surroundings. It’s about giving attention to your thoughts, and really, it’s about fighting the drift where your head gets taken away. Practicing only requires a few minutes of your time but the rewards are huge. |
