Stay anchored in the present moment from "summary" of You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh
To be truly present means to be fully alive, completely awake, and in touch with the richness of each moment. When we are anchored in the present moment, we are not carried away by our regrets about the past or our worries about the future. We are free from the burden of our fears and anxieties. We can experience peace and joy in the here and now. Our minds have a tendency to wander, constantly jumping from one thought to another. This can lead us to become lost in our thoughts and disconnected from our true selves. By staying anchored in the present moment, we can come back to ourselves and touch the wonders of life that are available to us in each moment. Practicing mindfulness is one way to cultivate the ability to stay present. Mindfulness involves paying attention to what is happening in the present moment without judgment. It is about being aware of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they arise, without getting caught up in them. By practicing mindfulness, we can learn to stay anchored in the present moment and embrace life as it unfolds. When we are anchored in the present moment, we can fully appreciate the beauty and wonder of life. We can see the miracle of our own existence and the interconnectedness of all things. We can experience gratitude for the simple joys that are available to us in each moment. By staying anchored in the present moment, we can find peace and happiness within ourselves. We can let go of our worries and fears and embrace the present moment with an open heart and mind. When we are truly present, we can live each moment to the fullest and experience the richness of life in all its beauty.
