Present moment awareness is a superpower than can transform your life. We often don’t realize how much time we spend “in our heads” thinking about what has happened or worried about what will happen. Commit to spend one day focusing on the present moment, and looking for things in your everyday that you never noticed before. When you catch yourself thinking about the past or future, gently bring your attention back into the present moment. When you catch yourself reacting to something question your reaction. For example if someone says something a bit abrupt, or honks at you in traffic just take a moment and ask yourself what could be behind the action. Maybe the person is having a bad day, or is late for work. I have been working at this for several years, and I can’t tell you how valuable this exercise has been for me. You will discover new understandings and opportunities that could make all the difference.
