Hi friends, in this episode, we will talk about a common topic that sounds easy and seems simple but can be hard to implement into our lives: staying present. In this episode, I’ll share personal anecdotes and strategies I use to appreciate the moment and incorporate mindfulness into my day when life seems to race by me. Categorizing these into 8 specific practices, I encourage you to listen, try one of these practices, and take or leave what works for you. These tips will hopefully enhance your emotional well-being, improve your connections with others, and increase your awareness and appreciation for the present moment.

What to Expect:

8 unorganized tips for staying present and finding stillness so you are present in the moments of your life.

• Looking at our feet can anchor us in the moment (reference: Scott O’Neil)
• Pay attention to the voices of those speaking to you.
• Notice your surroundings engage our senses.
• Fast forwarding helps us appreciate moments.
• Take deep breaths and count (sorry, I know that’s cliche)
• Capture moments intentionally.
• Listen to movie music
• Forgive yourself when you get caught up in the hustle

Call to Action: Try one of these mindfulness practices and see if it helps you to stay present in the moment.
