THE POWER OF INTENTIONAL PRESENCE

The power of presence. What I mean by the "power" of presence. Is it holds such a deep space for inner and outer reflection. How do you show up when you are completely present? What thoughts come up? What feelings and emotions arise for you? How are you physically feeling and moving your body? How are you communicating with others and yourself?

These are a series of questions that pop up for me. A little bit of background on why i choose to bring this topic up in a blog post, is because I have been prioritizing being A LOT more present than I used to be. I had serious issues with always distracting myself with a bunch of outside noise, doom scrolling, overthinking, wandering thoughts, alcohol abuse, toxic eating habits, and allowing myself to be okay with being in toxic environments. If any of these resonate with you.. you understand. So I ask these questions:

When was the last time you woke up without starting your day and checking your phone? When was the last time you just sat in silence or the natural outside noise around you and took it all in? When was the last time you really focused on how your breath moves through your body? When was the last time you intentionally felt how powerful your body is while doing an active activity (walking, running, swimming, etc)? When was the last time you fully listened, spoke, and let someone feel seen while holding a conversation? When was the last time you allowed your wandering thoughts to come in and listen to them then let them go? When was the last time you fully sat through a nutritional meal and ate every bite with intention? When was the last time you made the conscious desicion on how does this "drink" make me feel in this moment? When was the last time you allowed yourself to feel okay with leaving an environment you no longer want to participate in? When was the last time you felt fully present in your life?

If you fully show up present and intentionally in all these ares in your life; You go girl!

And if anything came up for you, where you realized; Wow I really could reflect and do something about how i show up for myself presently. I believe it's important to share how powerful being present can truly change the way your life is designed as it is happening for myself. I think I have been more present then I have ever been in my life almost living like im in my parents time (1970's) for reference. When time and the power of presence was used a lot differently. At the end of the day you can choose how you want to live your life. Of-course putting into perspective we live in much different times being present 24/7 can seem like a challenge especially because most of how we work and communicate these days is through an online & digital space. But if your someone like me who feels they have struggled in some of these areas in your life its so nice and i believe important to reflect how this powerful tool can really transform the way you live in all areas in your life when you make the time for it. At the end of the day all we have is NOW and how you spend your time presently can truly reflect your life in the best way by just using this powerful tool of being PRESENT.

Be intentionally present and watch your life change!

Sending my love!
