Our PACE Yourself series for greater well-being, begins with the reminder to be Present, but what does that really mean? Are we simply present when our physical body shows up to work or a social gathering? Are we present when the body/mind habitually (perhaps somewhat unconsciously) navigates traffic light response? Have you ever caught yourself saying, “Sorry, I heard you, but I wasn’t listening?” Understanding what it means to be present, provides an opportunity to experience life more fully.
Presence is a partnering of the body, mind and consciousness. Presence is fully engaging in the here and now, without preoccupation with the past or future. It is awareness, the ability to focus attention on a current moment, task, or conversation without distraction.
This week, we invite you to PACE Yourself in presence. Notice the color of the sky, the texture of your shirt. Notice habitual reactions to conversations or social/political triggers. Invite awareness forward to see the whole picture or zoom in on the minute details easily overlooked.
PACE Yourself provides practice for presence. Learn more by visiting EverspringLiving.com and give us a call today.
