It's not easy, I know that all too well, but maybe it is due to the type of therapy I am doing, but I know my T encourages me to be in the "now" and to just be interested in my thoughts / feelings without judging them.

This is great insight - I have started to understand this as well.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already present,
in open relaxation and letting go.

Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
