Try Awakened Doing

In Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth he has a great chapter on "Awakened Doing." In a nutshell it's paying complete attention to what you are currently doing. Be in the 'now.' Focus on what you are doing completely. Engage your five senses. Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling. Rather than thinking and living in the past -- which is a memory, and/or worrying about the future -- which is anticipation, be fully present. It's not as easy as it sounds. I consciously tried doing this during activities this week. It's surprising how the chatterbox of my mind demanded it's own time for future 'shoulds' rather than just jumping into the enjoyment of what I was doing. It's really quite fun to witness the mental distractions. When you do recognize them, you've made the first move to living 'more awake.'
