I've tried to employ this mantra on a daily basis - attempting to live in the moment, every moment. Obviously it means to enjoy and savor your food as if it might be your last, but it also means to live in every moment. Not worrying about what is going to happen tomorrow, not worrying about that coworker that pissed you off yesterday. Because in life, that's all we have. What is directly in front of us. If we spend all that time constantly off somewhere else (mentally at least), what are we doing?
Don't misunderstand me, not every moment is going to fit into the popular definition of enjoyable or pleasurable. Nor should it be. In fact, if you are pursuing a fulfilling life, there well may be many moments that are quire unpleasant, and by your own choosing. But if you are along for the ride, if you are aware of the process and aware of the now, there's no reason you can't enjoy it.
