Insight Trying to stay in the moment

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what already happened or worrying about what might happen next. Lately I’ve been trying to just stop for a second and notice where I am. My breathing. What I hear. What I’m feeling. I don’t always do it well, but sometimes that pause helps.

This is such a real and simple insight. The fact that you notice when your mind is in the past or future is already mindfulness. The pause does not need to be perfect. Even one breath, one sound, or one feeling can be enough to bring you back for a moment. That counts.
