Being In The Moment

I have heard and read many people talk about being in the moment. I can't honestly say that I completely understand the concept but if I had to guess, I would say that it refers to putting in 100% concentration and effort to what you are doing in the present and not letting your mind wander. I have realized that I have a big problem doing this and it is starting to affect my life significantly. 

I refer to myself as "being in my head" a lot. I can't stop thinking and I constantly have things running through my mind, often at the expense of what I'm doing. This affects my Kung Fu and also my relationships, as I have a hard time enjoying and appreciating the journey and I often have some pre-determined destination in my mind that I get stuck on. I'm hoping that this is something that will improve with time and effort.
