The secret of happiness lies in being in the present moment completely. Our untrained mind is always going either into the memories of past or into the fantasies of future to avoid the beauty of ‘now’. We must slowly and persistently train our mind to be in the present moment.
We can choose a few things everyday which we are going to do with full focus so that we can practice being in the present moment. For example, we can take our morning tea in this way. We should avoid any distraction like talking, watching TV or surfing net so that we can enjoy every sip of the tea slowly and mindfully. We will realize that the same cup of tea has started giving us more joy and satisfaction. Once we learn the essence of this art, we can apply it into as many activities as possible.
