1.
Make a solid commitment to remain present- this
tip is one I would like to start doing. Canfield suggests that you look
yourself in the eyes first thing in the morning and remind your self that you
only have the present, and it is important to make sure that you are really
present with what your experiencing right now. We shouldn’t harp on the past or
the future, the past is done, and the future is not here yet. By reminding
myself to remain present it will allow me to focus on what is in front of me
and not was is behind or ahead. Being present in a classroom is very important.
2.
Become aware of your thoughts- all too often our
thoughts get in our way of completing tasks, being present, and staying positive.
I really think Canfield’s idea of trying to keep our thoughts positive is a
great way to help us stay grounded and appreciate all of the great and positive
things that we are experiencing in the current moment.
