Reflect on what you attend to
Wiliam James writes, "My experience is what I attend to." Where do you focus your attention? Notice how the mind is focused and also relaxed. It is selectively aware. People do not always recall how to feel and engage in the simple things without hurrying. What would it take for you to be truly present at each step of the journey? Take a moment to appreciate things. Recognize the intrinsic meaning of just being.

A very important question. We often fool ourselves that we are present when we are really evaluating what presence feels like.
Thanks for the pointer.
