This is a very easy and effective way to bring myself back the the present. I can just tell myself what I am aware of at that moment... it will bring me back the present moment when I find myself lost in thoughts, the future or the past. I am aware of my chewing on food now.. I am aware of the sensation of my finger tips when I am typing.. I am aware of the brightly lit monitor as my eyes stare at it. I am aware of the calling of my wife..
