be present
Be there now
To be present means to exist or be located in a particular place at a particular time: All students must be present for the exam.
It extends to mental attention—being fully engaged rather than distracted: Put down your phone and be present with your family.
This mindfulness sense has become prominent in wellness culture, where being present means focusing on the current moment rather than dwelling on past or future.
