Last week, we started in a new series about my own Rules for Living.  These are the rules I try to follow in my efforts to live a thriving life.

This week, we head into rule #2:  Be Present In The Present.

These days, the buzzword is "mindfulness."  In reality, our minds tend to be much too full.  And mindfulness is really about being present -- really being in the experience of this moment.

But how do you do that?  First, you have to really show up.  Second, you have to make sure that you "distract-proof" yourself.  Third, it is all about understanding our thoughts -- and letting them just be thoughts that pass on.

I cover some reasons why this rule is so important... and how to improve your "presence in the present" in this week's podcast episode.  Listen below.
