How to Stay in the Moment

Staying in the moment requires sustained concentration, free from interruptions like checking devices. It entails focusing on the task at hand, noticing self-interruptions without getting distracted, and continuing to concentrate. This practice can be applied to creative tasks, learning new things like languages, or even enduring boredom, which is often avoided in today's constantly entertained world. Embracing boredom, paying attention to inner thoughts, and focusing on the immediate environment help in staying present. It's essential to understand that being in the moment can be challenging, boring, and even distressing, but it is a deliberate practice necessary for being alive.
