How to Stay in the Present Moment

How do you remain in the present moment when responsibilities start to pull at you?

Jeff Noel and I are on a final day in Glacier National Park. We are recording from a beautiful location, and I already start feeling drawn to everything I have to do.

Instead of focusing on the beauty in front of me, I am thinking about driving home. I am thinking about all of the work I have to do once I get home.

Jeff and I discuss how we can remain in the present moment when other responsibilities start to pull at us.

Just like most things you are good at, it takes practice.

Jeff explains one of the keys is recognizing you are being pulled out of the present moment. Then you can ask yourself if you can let off the gas.

One way to help you remain in the present moment is to add some margin in your schedule. That way you have less to worry about if something gets in your way and causes a time delay.
