Why would you want to be in the moment if it's not to your liking? What's the benefit of being fully engaged?
It's telling though, isn't it, when you don't like your present moment? You question why you're in it to begin with. You wonder how you can get out of it. How you can change it.
What can you do to want to be more in the moment? By simply informing you of your present, whether good or bad, mindfulness is letting you know something is up.
With this self-awareness, you're given a choice. You can change your circumstances or accept them. Either way, you're more present, more there, in the moment than you were before.
Ray Bradbury once said, "Love what you do and do what you love." It's kind of a Zen koan when you think about it.
