In order to live in the present and focus on enjoying the moment, you must learn to relax and to keep your mind fully captivated on each task that you are engaged in.
Although this can prove to be difficult at first, it can be done. The problem is that most of us tend to do one thing but we have our minds elsewhere trying to solve some other problem.
Because of this, we tend to lose some of the value that each moment has. It's as almost as if life is passing us by because we're always so focused on getting something, or attaining some far off result.
By learning to enjoy each and every passing moment, we develop a new zest for life and we become more grateful for the things that we do have rather than the things that we don't.
Slow Down
Learn to slow down your thoughts by thinking only about what you are doing. For instance, if you are cooking, then fully concentrate and engage in that cooking. Don't think about what you are going to cook tomorrow or the following week. Only think about what you are doing, become conscious of the process itself.
The results from doing this for the various tasks in your life will be amazing. If you can apply this to your work for instance, you will notice that you tend to make fewer mistakes on the job or in your business. Not only that, but you will also be aware of the many opportunities that will present themselves simply because of your concentrated thinking.
An excellent way to do this is to become conscious of your breathing while you are doing what you are doing. This is merely a step to help you to get your mind focused on what you're doing. By first focusing on your breathing, you take your mind off of the thousands of other random thoughts in your brain and you can now channel that thinking onto your task.
Do Less
Doing less means that you should simply do less while you are working. Instead of trying to do two things at once, focus on doing only one thing at a time and do it consciously and carefully. Quality of work is always better than quantity of work.
Although we live in an age that praises productivity, multitasking is actually an efficient way to get things done if you want to do your best work and live in the present moment.
Learn to fully focus on one thing at a time and set an allotted amount of time for each task so that your mind can fully engage in that single task. When the time is up for one task, then you can completely switch your mind to another task and achieve a higher level of productivity simply because the work is being done with more passion and more attention.
