The Power of Being Present with One Thing
Mindfulness, often misunderstood as merely slowing down, is about being fully present with one thing at a time. In our multitasking lives, being truly focused on one task is rare. The misconception that mindfulness requires slow movements or monastic practices can hinder our ability to experience the present moment while still engaging in multiple tasks. The key is to be fluid and present with one thing at a time, without feeling the need to slam on the brakes or live in a specific way.
We only have so much energy in our lives. If we channel it into the wrong things, including multi-tasking, we find that time flies by but we aren’t sure how we spent it or what we got accomplished. What if instead, you gave something your entire focus?
