What Really Matters: Everyday Spirituality

Ep. 175 Presence: The Most Important Skill for Uncertain Times

In this episode I talk about the foundational skill of Presence: being able to focus on the present moment and also remaining calm in the midst of difficulties. This episode includes:

  • Why calm presence is contagious
  • How having greater presence helps you practice kindness
  • How humans are hard-wired to co-regulate their nervous systems
  • Practices for developing greater Presence
  • How to return to calmness after being triggered emotionally
  • Book recommendation: Present Through the End by Kirsten DeLeo
