​Can you will yourself to be more present?

Colleagues,
​
MVP: Making an effort to be more present makes it more likely you will be present.

Last week I was very present. There was a lot going on with travel, a conference, meeting people, etc… 

I made a real effort to remain focused and fully present at each step.

I wasn’t 100% perfect, but making the intentional effort to stay present and keep my attention on the person or task in front of me has increased how connected and calm I feel.

When we are fully present, we see things, we hear things, we think about things. Things that are right in front of us, but which we often skip over.

Today’s intention: Try to be more present. With each transition, ask yourself, “What do I need from this moment? What can I give in this moment?” Just try for today. And maybe tomorrow. And the day after. And…

Cheers!
