Mindfulness & the Present Moment
In the current world of hustle culture, it’s easy to find ourselves constantly thinking of what’s next.
- What to do
- What not to do
- What we want
- Where we want to go next
All this hustling can leave us constantly craving the next thing, and not spending any time appreciating where we are and what we have in the present moment.
Mindfulness Grounds us to the Present
Mindful defines mindfulness as:
“Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.”
Bayes-Fleming, Nicole, et al. “Getting Started with Mindfulness.” Mindful, 25 Nov. 2022, https://www.mindful.org/meditation/mindfulness-getting-started/.
By being mindful and remaining in the present moment, we can take the time to rest, enjoy the moment, and have gratitude for what we have now.
- We can congratulate ourselves for how far we’ve come
- We can express gratitude for who we are, where we are, and what we have in this moment
- We can revel in the beauty of today
Instead of constantly being on the go, trying to attain new things or get to new places, let’s take the time to slow down, and be mindful in the present moment.
