I know how hard it is to live in the present moment, as it's something I've struggled with for a long time. But every day, I hear a little voice in my head saying: Hey, focus on the now.
It's easy to self-delude when we're thinking about the past or looking forward to the future, and I believe the root of all suffering comes from focusing your life on something other and not at here and now.
Congratulations on your conscious choice, I hope it has helped you in a better understanding of yourself.
