What does it mean to focus on the present? Concentrate on the now? It really means to live in the only place that life happens, right here, right now. I have been practicing being present. Breathing to bring myself back to the now when I notice myself drifting off to thoughts of the past or the future. Life seems to flow better when I am living in the present. Breath for a bit. See what happens.

Focus on the Present
Thursday, March 27th, 2008Being Sick
Sunday, February 24th, 2008Man oh man! Being sick with the flu is just not fun! It puts a stop or major slow down to so many things. But, it really makes me stop and slow down too! Did you get that? It requires a big huge, whooooaaaaa! And a required attention to only the basics. That is one way to start noticing what is most important. It is also a way to loose some weight too. I lost 5-6 pounds in a couple weeks! Now, as I am getting better, the trick for me will be to BE this new person who is 5 pounds lighter and not revert to the one who was heavier. And also to BE the person who notices what is most important in any given moment. So, on to better health and focused attention.
What makes you feel good?
Saturday, January 19th, 2008When you are noticing your body this week, notice what makes you feel good. Notice the kind of touch, the temperature, the texture, the clothes, the voice, the music, the food, etc. What makes you feel good?
If something doesn’t feel good, stop doing it, step away, do something else. Don’t dwell on it, just move on to the next thing. Spend time finding the things that do feel good, instead of spending time on those that don’t.
Notice (without judgment)
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008This week is all about noticing. Be the observer. Allow yourself to take a step back from the situation for just a moment and view it with the eyes of an outsider. What is happening around you is a scene playing itself out. What is happening? Now be the observer of what is happening with your body. Is your body thirsty? Is your body tired? Is your mind alert? Is your body cold/hot? How relaxed are your muscles? Where are your hands? Where are your feet? No judgment. Just observe and be a neutral party in what is happening right now. Find your place of peace and remember… you are loved!
