Here and now

If you're wondering how to return to the present moment, you're likely already aware that the present is the only "time" in our human experience that exists. The past only exists in the present through our memories and the future will never manifest as the future because when it happens, it will be in the present. So none of us need "to do something" to stay in the here and now. We just need "to be" letting our body do the manual tasks without us judging them or getting caught away from what we're doing.

I love to wash dishes and let my mind be still, looking and my hands, the water flowing, setting aside things and being there, completely. And if or when a thought arises I just go back to observing my movements.

Our bodies can be the greatest helpers when it comes to being present.

When I type I frequently stop for a while and let the awareness find the words, I watch my hands, and the skin, and wait, silent and still, breathing calmly. Nothing matters. And I don't mind what happens. This body is here, breathing and doing things in the "clock time", that's the time where things happen in the human experience, where the future exists in terms of plans and goals to achieve required by our human form.

Then when all the work is done, I go back to the present moment and the mind gets quiet.

The opposite of "clock time" according to Eckhart Tolle is the "psychological time" that suggest our minds’ propensity to spend a lot of time thinking about the past or the future rather than living completely in the present.

Sorry for being verbose. Maybe you only wanted some practical tips such as do yoga, sit crossed legs and meditate, have a walk in nature and so forth.

I do have walks sometimes, to be present and when I need to look at the trees covering the nearby mountains, hearing the river sound and the birds chirping. Some call it Walking Meditation. I don't label it, I just walk completely being in what I am doing.
That's the main teaching in Zen tradition: doing one thing at a time. Being present.
