Being Present in the Moment Can Be Helped by Stopping Our Thinking →

. RSS

Being present in the moment can be challenging when our minds are constantly caught up in ruminating thoughts about the past or anxieties about the future. However, the intentional act of stopping or quieting our thinking can significantly aid this. This practice allows us to focus entirely on our current experience, which is the core principle of mindfulness meditation- being fully present in the moment and achieving a sense of harmony and equilibrium. 

When you intentionally stop thinking, you can direct your attention to your sensory experiences, such as sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and physical sensations. These experiences have a powerful grounding effect, bringing you back to the present moment and making you feel more connected and engaged in your surroundings.
