What should I do to be more present and not drown in memories or imaginations?

Become a mirror and simply witness your thoughts as they flow by; in this non-interfering awareness, the mind's chaos settles, revealing the profound stillness of the present.

— Osho
According to Osho, to be present, become a mirror: practice witnessing meditation. Simply watch thoughts of past and future pass by without identifying, like sitting on the riverbank as currents flow. Stay awake, non-interfering, and the mind’s pendulum rests; the torrent thins to a trickle, revealing the only reality—the present—where silence, clarity, and the divine are.

Sit quietly and watch your thoughts come and go without chasing them, until only the here-and-now remains.
