It's so easy to focus on the past and the future. I do this every day. I forget to focus on what is going on RIGHT NOW. I have big dreams for the future (living in an RV) and regrets from the past (not traveling abroad). Sometimes these things consume me to the point that I lose what I've got right now. For example - You're in the middle of eating breakfast and you're thinking about the plans for the day, but you bring your mind to the present and simply spend a few moments tasting your food.
Try focusing on the current moment just a few times a day. You might be surprised at what you're missing! If you need help doing this, try focusing on these things:
Body: Notice how it is positioned, if there's any tension anywhere.
Emotions: Are you angry, frustrated, calm, happy, sad, stressed?
Thoughts: Are you worrying, stewing or rehashing? Are you stuck in the past or future?
Location: Where are you?
Just take these four steps and then breathe. You've done it.
I've taken the above lines from the article below.
