We have a lot of focus and concentration when we are driving on a freeway or writing an exam, but when it comes to simple tasks like walking, eating or just sitting on a bus, we let our mind wander. This is when we are trying to jump moments by going into past or the future and abandon the present.
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
- Buddha
It is very important to understand that staying in the present moment and being aware of what you are doing significantly improves concentration and makes even simplest of tasks more enjoyable. For example, if you let your mind wander when you eat, you might not even notice the taste of your food, let alone enjoy it.
