Buddhist Quote of the Day
Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is. The future has yet to come. Look deeply at life as it is in the very here and now. The wise person knows how to live in mindfulness day and night.
-Shakyamuni Buddha

Agreed, but being here now means attending to current discomforts, like internal aches and pains, the insects biting your arm, or the hot, humid, stagnant atmosphere that makes it hard to breathe.

I think being ful present helps one tolerate better those conditions that you describe.
