New Delhi, Sep 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) Going slow is not an option for millennials in our fast-paced environment. Multitasking has become a need for everyone, from working professionals and students to housewives and parents. However, in this "on the go" culture, individuals forget to live in the present moment. While rushing to do required duties, you may lose touch with the present moment, missing out on what you're doing and how you're feeling. This has resulted in increasing stress and worry. To avoid this, you might practise mindfulness to shift your focus to smaller events-and enjoy the little things in life.
