Stay present in the moment

I have become more and more aware, that I spend precious little time present in the moment. It seems that I live in auto pilot most of the time, while I take a trip within my mind. Thoughts seem to continuously flood in, giving me the responsibility of sorting them out, by sending them out, filing them for future reference, or entertaining them for a short period of time. While all this is happening, the body is going about it's business the way that it has been programmed within the subconscious mind. What if I am able to spend a lot more time present in each moment, without taking any trips. Surely if I were able to do it, and I know it will take some time, but at least while I am working on it, I will be spending a whole lot more time present in the body. 
   At the same time, when I am around my usual coherts, I find myself speaking a lot. These words just flow out of me and I chalk it up to a higher power speaking through me, but I think that the time has come for me to become slow to speak and allow others to have much of the time that I have been speaking. I will make a conscious effort to put that into effect right away.
