episode 107
Do you find your mind dwelling on the past or worrying about the future instead of focusing on the present moment? If so, this episode is for you! Being present is how we experience life, appreciate it and make meaningful connections.
In this episode I discuss:
What not being present looks like i.e. lack of focus, loss of memory, making errors, poor listening skills, racing thoughts and never being satisfied.
Making peace with the past, reflecting on how you grew from it and finding something you can be grateful for in your past experiences so you can move on.
Not getting tunnel vision on your future, staying open minded, available for opportunities, not tying your worth to your achievements and celebrating every win no matter how small
Anything is a mindfulness practice if you do it mindfully, find ways to make daily, seemingly mundane tasks like eating or cooking, mindful
Romanticizing your life by falling in love with your work, routines and habits so you can learn to appreciate the small moments in life and the process of creating a better life
Unplugging and taking breaks to focus on yourself and enjoy your life exactly as it is
Being present requires practice and mental toughness but I think you'll find so much meaning in life when you learn to be present.
