Hi, it's Kim Zoller. Our mind wanders 46.9, 47% of the time. In fact, the data shows that it wanders every four minutes. And so if we are trying to be mindful, it's about an awareness of that my mind is wandering. They also say that from statistics that only 6.9% of our time of happiness is because of our present moment. So today, take a moment to be mindful, to remind yourself of that. You're right here, right now. What is special about this moment? What is the gift about this moment? In fact, set an alarm for every 90 minutes and every 90 minutes, just take a moment to assess and be mindful where you are, what's going on and what is the gift in that moment. And if it's not a gift, what's the lesson? Have the best day and do everything you can to be present, to be in this moment and take from it what we can.
