When we spend too much time reliving the past in our mind then it easy to start feeding our worries about the future. When we spend too much time in the future then is also easy to get swept away by disaster scenarios.
So we focus on spending more of our time and attention in the present moment.
Two of our favourite ways is to reconnect with what is happening right now:
Slow down. Do whatever you are doing right now but do it slower. Move, talk, eat or ride your bicycle slower. By doing so you’ll become more aware of what is happening all around you right now.
Disrupt and reconnect. If we feel we are starting to worry then disrupt that thought by gently telling this to ourselves in our mind: Breath! Then reconnect with the present moment by taking just one or two minutes to focus to 100% on what is going on around you. We take it all in with all our senses. Feel it, see it, smell it, hear it and sense it on our skin.
