In many of my blogs I have had a common theme of working towards being in the moment. This is still a daily struggle for me. I am continually working on the "Do" and forgetting about the "Be". These are words a mentor of mine uses. The do is getting out there and doing the things you need to do to reach your goals. But when your are in the "Do" you also have to consciously be in the "Be".
The "Be" is the moment, to understand what you are doing and why you are doing it. It seems like a switch that I have to constantly make sure it is on. I have began meditating in the mornings and have been able to train my mind to stop thinking and to just have a clear head and concentrate on just truly being in the moment. It is powerful to be able to be in that state. But then after writing down my thoughts and goals for the day I start "Doing" and my mind shuts off and I am no longer in the moment.
I understand that being in the moment is a learned behavior, or at least for me it is. Or maybe it is unlearning other behaviors. The reward for being in the moment is I have a better day, I am more mindful of others, and I think beyond myself. I just wish I could figure out how to do it all the time.
