Have you ever thought about being present, and how it works?
In your daily life, do you find your mind wandering? Are you so caught up in checking your phone that you are not engaging with your partner?
It can be difficult to be “in the moment” when you have a lot going on, a full schedule, or other things on your mind. However, there are many benefits to being present.
Practicing mindfulness can boost your memory, increase your focus, reduce stress, improve your emotional fitness, and more. And, most of all, learning how to be present will help you live a life with passion and purpose.
If you’re not experiencing each moment of your day, are you truly spending time wisely?
“If you’re in your head, you’re dead.”
~Tony Robbins
What this means is that if you’re not enjoying what’s happening around you, and are instead wrapped up in your to-do lists and worries, then you’re not really living at all.
It’s time to start practicing how to be more present, like, right now.

Find Your Inspiration
If you know you want to create a breakthrough in your life, what are you waiting for? The first step in being present is to identify what you want to work on.
This is your inspiration as you work on being more mindful.
Do you have a limited amount of time to spend with loved ones, but find yourself looking at your phone and checking your emails?
Being present in your life isn’t just important for you, but it’s important for your relationships as well. Your family will feel heard and you’ll spark an emotional connection with your partner when you turn off the phone and other distractions and focus on living in the moment.
Are you missing deadlines at work because you can’t focus during meetings? Being present at work means paying attention, participating, and taking notes. You’ll be prepared for questions, impress your boss and get that raise or promotion you have been working towards.
Understand The Benefits
Being present allows you to focus all of your energy on the task at hand.
“Where focus goes, energy glows.”
~Tony Robbins
And when you focus on what you want, you’ll achieve it even faster.
Being an active participant in your life, instead of a bystander, you’ll feel a greater sense of purpose in your actions and connectedness to those around you.
When you think about it, you realize that finding more joy in your everyday life is a reason in and of itself to start practicing being present.
Practice Being Present
There are a variety of ways to practice being present. Put aside self-destructive habits like checking your phone constantly or letting your mind wander. Those who truly know how to be present turn off their phone notifications completely. They may not even take many pictures, because they are living in the moment.
Feeling your mind wander? Take a moment to notice your surroundings and ask yourself why you’re having trouble staying focused. Take a deep breath, stretch, and notice the position of your body. Close your eyes and notice the sounds, smells, and objects around you. Put music on to help you focus. You can even write down a few things you are grateful for, to tether you to this specific moment in time.
