How Present Are You
Whether you answer a phone call or schedule some time to share with someone, be it a cup of coffee or even a date, how do you prepare to be with someone? I find the times that I actually focus on my outcome for connecting with an individual or a group I definitely get a different result.
People talk about not having enough time, yet they spend time with friends and family and go on autopilot. So why are you wasting precious time? Why does anybody? Enjoy the time you have chosen to share with someone.
1) Decide on the outcome for your interaction. (ex: Make someone feel special; share your world with them; catch up on your day both good and not-so-good)
2) Put aside everything on your mind and be with the individual(s). This may mean you make a list of what’s on your mind so you know you can come back to it after your connection time.
3) Pull yourself together and be present. Take everything one day at a time; one hour at a time; minute by minute. Time, like life, is precious.
Until next time,
Brenda
