Everything You Want to Know About Being in the Moment

Definition of Being in the Moment
Being in the moment is becoming engaged in whatever we're doing - completely. It is developing a different perspective of the present moment and taking in all that it has to offer. Being in the moment is not something we make happen, it is something we let happen. Being in the moment is something we experience.

How to Be in the Moment

When we want to be fully present, we can...

• Be aware of our thoughts about the past or the future. Train your mind to bring your thoughts back to the present moment. I tell my mind, "Thanks for sharing, but I'm only concerned with right now."

• Observewithout judgment. Really notice your surroundings. Be aware of your environment, how your body feels, the temperature, the smells, what you are hearing or seeing and how you're feeling emotionally.

• Focus on our breathing.
