This week, some thoughts on the incredible value of mindfulness, presence, and simply being here now.
Three stories:
“Saying yes to life, yes to opportunities that come your way, is a critical piece of enjoying presence.”-Cole Baker Bagwell
Jon Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as being aware in the present moment without judgment. And when you let go of judgement, your mind is free to roam, create and just be.
Mindfulness was a lifeline for Cole Baker-Bagwell, helping her move beyond depression and back into a happy and functioning life.
What is the power of mindfulness? How might it be a lifeline for you?
Tom is one of the people profiled in my book. These days, his goal is to teach one billion people to meditate. This quest started some decades ago when Tom found himself profoundly dissatisfied with his life as a bond trader.
But when he found meditation, he found his path to peace.
What opens your path to peace? Could quiet be part of that journey?
“We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” -Teresa Greco
But doesn’t the full enjoyment of the human experience include mindfulness and presence?
Teresa felt a void inside despite ‘having it all’. This void would send her on a path of self-discovery that demanded presence, the cultivation of happiness, and gratitude.
How might a quest for greater authenticity change your life? How might greater presence be part of the journey?
