Next time you’re in a situation where you just can’t wait to get through work or are having a hard time focusing on the present moment, take that as a cue to pause.
Life very seldomly gives us the opportunity to go back to pivotal moments when we did not pay enough attention. The practice mindfulness challenges us to be present for our peers and those around us.
