Focusing on what's around; what you can hear, see, smell, touch, feel can bring me back into the moment. I have a natural tendency towards instant gratification (I think our society breeds it) and try to fight my instant desire to run for a drink, cigarette, coffee, lust etc and instead just feel what I'm feeling and recognize it for what it is; a moment in time that will pass just like every one before it and every one that will come. I just hate feeling crappy, awkward, and/or uncomforable; I guess we all do, some can just tolerate it better. I'm really working on being present and aware so that I can be my true self and not off being off in some future or past place with my thoughts.
