To enjoy the moment, focus fully on the present: pause, breathe, notice sensations, silence distractions, and release judgment. As the New York Times suggests, cultivate mindfulness, gratitude, and acceptance—letting go of control to experience joy in ordinary, fleeting moments daily.
In advice by New York Times, one can find joy in the present by spending less time on time management and more time on mindfulness by concentrating on the current feelings and emotions without forming judgment. Set aside distractors, embrace your senses, learn to be thankful, and quit pursuing the idea of being productive all the time. Being alive, not ideal, makes you hope and see small pleasures and feel more gratified in everyday life.
