Now ask yourself if this exercise gave you an immediate connection to the present moment.(Don’t judge yourself if you catch yourself judging). Notice if you judge yourself or the exercise or if you have trouble staying focused.Do you hear any crackling in your joints or sounds of skin against skin? What else are you aware of? Focus on how the wiggling looks and sounds. Wiggle your fingers and notice how this sensory experience feels.Turn your attention to your fingers and focus there for one minute.Take time right now to try this exercise: Accept without judgment whatever thoughts you’re aware of that arise in each moment.Attune to yourself and your surroundings.
Keeping your focus on the present instead of ruminating about what already happened (in the past) or about what might happen (in the future)-none of which you can change anyway-keeps stress levels down, makes you more effective at job tasks and makes for a happier life. If job pressures or career disillusionment consume you, hijack you from the present moment. Scientists say the way you use your mind determines how much work stress or work productivity you have. And you’re able to work mindfully and productively in an alert, active and calm manner. When you can stay in the moment, your presence of mind keeps you fully immersed in the game. The Harvard scientists report that people are happier-no matter what they’re doing even working overtime, vacuuming the house or sitting in traffic-if they are focused on the activity instead of thinking about something else. When your mind wanders, you’re more stressed out and unhappy than when you stay in the here and now. Harvard researchers found that the human mind wanders 47% of the time and that when you stray, you pay.
