I cut myself shaving yesterday while I was thinking of something else. It’s an example of why being present is so important. When you’re focused on past problems still you aren’t effective in the present. This leads to new problems, and it’s a negative downward spiral.

In contrast, when you’re present and focused on the task at hand, you tend to eliminate problems and prevent them faster than you accumulate them. Learn to trust yourself to be able to solve problems quickly in the moment.

Just pay attention to the razor when you’re shaving.
