Keeping focus on the here and now is why mindfulness is a skill that has to be cultivated. Pushing the thoughts out and maintaining focus on what you are doing right now is key to good mindfulness.

i'm not certain of all the names of them but there is a practice i'm aware of in which the person maintains a steady stream of mindfulness as he/she goes about the ordinary tasks of each day.... possibly focusing on a certain image or thought/energy wave which he/she believes is very good in essences and hopes to carry that thought energy within their person and place at all places and times...

i enjoy such whims! and still, some inner nature of mine 'accepts' the idea for its wholesomeness and good spiritedness...

i do enjoy a healthy meditation immensely, personally.

i think ive read that you do the same. that is great _Sky!
