Being in the moment is way easier said than done. But it seems to be getting a little easier, the more frequently I try. Friday night, during the first run through of the demo, I felt almost frantic. I forgot a couple techniques,nd was rushing through. But before the second and third time, I stopped, took a deep breath, and thought about where I was and what I was doing. It helped tremendously, and I think my performance was ok. Better than that first try anyway.
The trick is to calm my mind. One of Thich Nhat Hanh's quotes sticks with me. (There are a couple that I use, but this one speaks to me).
"Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile..."
I found myself in the moment a lot today. It was a great day.
