It’s important to train yourself to be in the present. Drive yourself toward your vision because it helps you get in touch with yourself, soothes you down, and puts you in a position to try out choices that are really right for you. But if you’re thinking about the past and what you left behind or the future and what you should do next, you’re not yet in the moment.

“ Living in the moment brings you a sense of reverence for all life’s blessings “ — Oprah Winfrey

“The moment” doesn’t care about your age, gender, income, experience, or what you want to do with your life. Surprisingly, everyone feels the same way about “the moment.” People from all walks of life try to reach this way of thinking.

Here’s how you can tell when you’re in the moment:

All of the senses are running at full speed

You have very good senses of smell, sight, hearing, taste, and touch. You notice things that most people wouldn’t pay much attention to. Each thing you see is unique and different from what you’ve seen before.

The world is clear and sharp

Have you ever sat at a small table in a crowded restaurant and felt like you and your dinner companion were the only ones there? This is what it feels like to be “at the moment.”

The sky looks a little bit bluer, the grass a little bit greener, and you can see more details in your everyday surroundings.

The little things don’t bother you

Things that usually bother you, like rush-hour traffic, a friend who’s fifteen minutes late for dinner, or spilled milk, no longer bother you. It’s not a big deal when you’re in “the moment.”

The simplicity rules

Everything seems easy, even projects, tasks, and conversations that are usually hard. Challenges still make your work, but they are not as hard as they could be.

You also start to appreciate the beauty in simple things like taking your pet for a walk, driving to work, and going to the pet store.

You are completely absorbed

Whether you are at work, at home, with your children, on a date, or in church, whatever you are doing requires your whole focus. You give your current activity your whole attention without allowing any outside thoughts to enter your mind.

Time so fast

When you’re really into something, time goes by quickly, but in the best way possible.

You don’t have to worry about “running out of time” or “wasting time.” The restlessness that usually makes you look at the clock is strangely absent.

You are passionate and excited about what you are doing

When you’re in the moment, you can’t help but be excited about everything you do.

Everything is exciting, from small things like mowing the lawn or going to your daughter’s tea shop to big things like buying a new house or propose your girlfriend. You can be excited about every single thing.

You feel like every task and activity has a reason for being done
It doesn’t seem like anything you do is a waste of time. You put your best effort into everything, knowing that it will pay off in the end, whether that end result is “success” or just positive recognition of your efforts.

You move without hesitate

People who are “at the moment” live life as it comes, responding to each situation with confidence and without worry or regret.

[at or in] the moment is pretty the same to me, I hate you Grammarly.

Emotions are easily realized

Joy and sadness, happiness and anger, love and loneliness are all felt deeply. Being in the moment doesn’t mean that you don’t feel pain; it means that you accept all of your feelings, good and bad, as real.

You are able to sit with any feeling you have without running away.

=========================================================================

To put it simply, to be “at the moment” means to be amazed by what is new and in front of you. You’re just reacting; you’re not planning or worrying about anything.

Being in “the moment” means that you have (at least temporarily) stopped listening to the voices in your head and are free of distractions, obligations, or regrets.
