Show Notes: Being Present with Heart and Mind

Motivational review

  • Look for moments in your life when you were fully present. Assess their value?

Examine your encounters:

  • Are you prepared to be present in them?
  • Are you prepared to be open?
  • Are you prepared to be welcoming?

Think about changes:

  • Consider the encounter you could improve
  • What would you do differently?
  • Notice: as you become clear about the changes you'd like top make, they will effortlessly occur.

Practice being in the moment:

  • Quiet the mind
  • Live in the senses
  • Listen
  • Be the person you'd like to be with

Quotations

Flow, the best moments in our lives, usually occurs when a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.

  • Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

When the ideas are coming, I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time.
