Why It Is So Hard to Stay Present?

Why is it so difficult to stay present, even when we know it would be good for us? In this episode, we explore why the mind constantly moves between the past and the future, how stress and the state of our nervous system influence our ability to focus, and why being present often has less to do with discipline and more todo with the internal conditions from which we are living. We also begin introducing a topic that we will explore more deeply in future episodes: energy. Because our thoughts, emotions, body, and energy are far more connected than most of us realize. When we reclaim our attention, we also reclaim our ability to choose. And often, the first step toward transforming our experience of life is simply learning how to return to the present moment.
