Meditation and Mindfulness
When we’re mindful of what we feel in our body, she says, our mind naturally settles in the present. This happens without effort—and it makes us calmer, more receptive, and better attuned to the “boundless, indefinable, ungraspable” nature of awareness.

What I’ve also found is that mindful eating is a bellwether for whether or not I’m present. If I can’t focus on my meal, it’s usually a sign that I’m not grateful for things around me at all. If I’m rushing, flipping on my phone, reading the news or multitasking while eating, it’s almost always a sign that I’m distracted and need to take a break.
