I think *awareness* could be the key here. To me, being in the moment is not so much about having a blank space and not thinking about anything, but more about being *totally present* and absorbed in what I am doing.

So for example, if you watching TV just to veg out, then be aware you are watching tv to veg out. If you are meditating about the future or doing visualisations, be aware that that is what you are doing...I am not sure if these examples make much sense!

I believe that having awareness with what you are doing is what is important and this is what creates a higher level of consciousness within you.

This is easier said than done!

Many smiles!
