You feel more present
It’s hard to feel present in any given moment when you always leave yourself open to the possibility of bailing on that moment, for a different one. It’s difficult to enjoy something like a baby shower or dinner party when you live in such a way that, if an invitation to something else shows up on your phone just then, you’d consider it. Deciding, without question, “This is where I am now” helps you be more present and actually enjoy experiences.
