Noticing you are lost in thought and bringing your mind back to the present moment - noticing body sensations. Noticing whatever is being experienced right now.
It's not difficult to do; it's difficult to REMEMBER to do it. Over and over all day.

#metta is also about loving / accepting whatever is arising in the present moment in one's awareness.
Suffering = resistance to what is
Equanimity = non resistance / non reactivity
Metta = loving acceptance and alignment with what is
