Practice mindfulness and be present in the moment from "summary" of Finding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck

Mindfulness is the art of paying attention, of focusing on the present moment without judgment or distraction. It's a state of active, open attention on the present. When we practice mindfulness, we are fully involved in what is happening around us, and in us, at that moment. This practice allows us to observe our thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging them as good or bad. Being present in the moment means being fully engaged and aware of what is happening right now. It means not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, but instead focusing on the here and now. When we are present in the moment, we are able to fully experience life as it unfolds, without being consumed by regrets or fears. Mindfulness and being present in the moment are essential practices for finding our own North Star. By staying present and mindful, we are able to connect with our inner wisdom and intuition. We are better able to hear the whispers of our soul and follow the path that is truly right for us. When we are present in the moment, we are more able to make decisions that align with our true desires and values. In a world filled with distractions and demands, practicing mindfulness and being present in the moment can be a challenge. However, by making a conscious effort to cultivate these practices, we can begin to live more authentically and in alignment with our true selves. It's about slowing down, taking a deep breath, and fully experiencing the richness of life in each moment. By being present and mindful, we can navigate the complexities of life with grace and authenticity.
