Breathe deeply and be present from "summary" of The Power of Now Journal by Eckhart Tolle
When you bring your attention to your breath, you are anchoring yourself in the present moment. Your breath is always with you, a reliable and constant companion that you can turn to at any time. By taking a few deep breaths, you are signaling to your body and mind that it is time to slow down and be fully present. As you breathe deeply, you are also bringing awareness to your body. Notice how your chest rises and falls with each inhale and exhale. Feel the air entering and exiting your nostrils. Pay attention to the sensations in your body as you breathe. This simple act of focusing on your breath can help quiet the chatter of your mind and bring you into the here and now. Being present means fully engaging with whatever is happening in this moment. It means letting go of worries about the past or future and immersing yourself in the now. When you are present, you are able to appreciate the beauty of life unfolding around you. You can savor the sights, sounds, and smells of the present moment without being distracted by thoughts or concerns.- You are cultivating a sense of inner peace and tranquility. You are training your mind to be still and focused, which can have a profound impact on your overall well-being. This simple yet powerful practice can help you navigate the ups and downs of life with grace and ease. So, take a moment to breathe deeply and be present. Feel the peace and serenity that comes from connecting with the present moment.
