Surrendering to the Present Moment 

Father Richard Rohr says “If we watch our minds, we will see that we live most of our life in the past or in the future. The present always seems boring and not enough. To get ourselves engaged, we will often “create a problem” to resolve, and then another, and another. The only way many of us know how to motivate ourselves is to create problems or to need to “fix” something, someone else, or ourselves.” Source: Surrendering to the Present Moment 

PS I find repeating the phrase I learned from Tara Brach and Dorothy Hunt to be very powerful for staying in this present moment: “Peace is this moment without judgement“.
