How Can We Be More In The Moment?

Keys for Being More in the Moment

Start small and make it a regular practice.
Build new, helpful habits through repetition over time.
Make a change in your routine.
By making small changes to our routine, we naturally notice things more.
Simplify your life.
We can make positive improvements in our life by cutting out things, even if it means doing less or doing only one thing at a time.
Practice deep breathing.
We can reduce, and perhaps alleviate, stress and and anxiety by regulating our breathing.
Cultivate idleness.
There’s a fine line between idleness and boredom. Sometimes, the best use of time is to “waste” a bit of it, which can reset our thoughts and actions.
Savor what you’re doing.
Make an effort to enjoy whatever you’re doing.
Focus more on the process than the purpose.
This is especially helpful when it comes to repetitive, mundane tasks like cooking and gardening.
