One of the major challenges of modern life is that we live in our heads. We describe our lives rather than experience life. We narrate our lives rather than be present to sensing and feeling our lived experience more deeply through our bodies. By living life in this manner, we create a distance; slightly disconnected from who we are and life as it is.

Staying in our minds, simply narrating our life dampens our experience of being alive. When we engage with personal development in any manner, we don’t simply want more goals to achieve or purpose to strive for, we want to feel and experience life in a fuller, more meaningful way. This is why we talk about the importance of being ‘present’. We must be present to what we are feeling and sensing to experience life in a new way.
