Honor The Present Moment

Humans are a fickle bunch when it comes to time. We tend to mourn for the past and worry about the future, never really living in the present moment. A writer had this to say: "Creative living means responding and reacting to environment spontaneously." (i.e. living in the moment!)

When we fret or worry about what’s going to happen we send stress hormones throughout the body which keeps us from being creative or able to solve problems well. AND, it keeps us from attending whatever is in front of us, exacerbating the problem.

What can we do?

I have three tricks I use to get people’s bodies and brains in the same place when I speak or train. I’ll share them with you if you promise to only use your superpowers for good!

• Take a few short, deep breaths: this relaxes the nervous system and just feels good!
• Think about and write down something you’re grateful for: this floods your relaxed nervous system with good hormones, making you feel good and aligning your brain and body
• Think about and write down your goal or intention for our time together: what do you hope to get? This tells your brain, “Hey, look for this thing we need!”

Without fail, the people who enter into these three activities before I speak, train, coach, or in a thinking partnership, they are able to attend to what’s happening in the present moment, despite their circumstances.
