How would your life be different if you spent more time living in the present?
If the myriad of scientific research studies is correct, learning how to be present offers a host of benefits, including:
- Improved attention span and quality of attention;
- Better interpersonal relationships;
- Great empathy and compassion;
- Better mental health;
- Better sleep;
- Reduction of chronic pain;
- A positive impact on the brain and immune system.
There are plenty of compelling reasons to learn how to be present — not the least of which is a life with more joy and contentment.
But the bigger question is, what are you going to do about it? How can you enjoy these benefits and commit to a practice of staying present?
