Couple of days back, I was introspecting with my coach. She asked,
When was the time you felt very lively?
When was the time you felt fully present?
When was the most memorable period of life?
It immediately brought me back to my college days / school days. It was
more like Hero/Heroine got introduced in the movie, fully live, full of energy
and enthusiasm

When I do more research to this problem, I got the solution as

What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgemental awareness. It is
cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention, intentionally, in the
present moment, and then sustaining that attention over time as best we can. In
the process, we become more in touch with our life as it is unfolding.

Learning to stay in the present
A less formal approach to mindfulness can also help you to stay in the
present and fully participate in your life. You can choose any task or moment
to practice informal mindfulness, whether you are eating, showering, walking,
touching a partner, or playing with a child or grandchild. Attending to these

Cultivate mindfulness informally
In addition to formal meditation,
you can also cultivate mindfulness informally by focusing your attention on
your moment-to-moment sensations during everyday activities. This is done by
single-tasking—doing one thing at a time and giving it your full attention. As
you floss your teeth, pet the dog, or eat an apple, slow down the process and
be fully present as it unfolds and involves all of your senses.
