Mind plays and important game. Todays meditation mantra was 'I'm in rhythm with my MIND and BODY. Yes important to be BE PRESENT and any stories that the mind create results in mind playing games leading to worry, anxiousness and which has a physical impact.
Most importantly, one is missing on the present. The present presents beautiful opportunities which has tremendous impact on life and the future that we create. It is simple things like observing, listening, meaningful conversations, reading, writing. Being in the present will lead to meaningful ACTIONS. The very sense and realization for the other that you are with them physically and mentally for them is the key to great relationship.
