Being Present

It's not about being everywhere at once, it's about being where you are.

Let's face it, being present is hard. Your phone's on, the news is on, and your brain's on high alert. But, for the love of all things good and holy, can you just be here with me?

Try this:

Take a deep breath in, take a deep breath out.
Look around and see the things that are right in front of you.
Feel the air on your skin.
Smell the food you're eating.
Breathe out any thoughts of the past or worries of the future.

Repeat as necessary.

Or, you know, you could just check your phone.
