Do you feel you’re in a time warp? I do. Now more than ever. Has it really been over 10 weeks since the stay-at-home mandate started? Or a week since Memorial Day Weekend!? Finessing between Distance Learning, interruptions and tech challenges are to blame for this life-changing ezine not landing in your lap sooner!
Life-changing?! Well, yes. The simple practice transformed the life of an overwhelmed mother of three children who was triple busy and scattered. She said, “Mastering this ONE thing was worth her entire investment in coaching with me.” Do I have your attention? Great!
Then you’ll not just watch the Rapid Reset video I’ve got for you today, you’ll commit to putting it into action. Because we all know, nothing changes if you don’t.
But first, I wanted to share a glimpse of the joy and happiness from our Memorial Day weekend. The beaches in California are finally open again. Whew! Made me happy, happy to see humans gathering again… outside of the grocery store. It was amazing to witness countless, joyous smiles, so many people enjoying their families and delighting in a gorgeous day. Playing in the ocean, building sandcastles, walking the beach and relaxing with my family was nourishing to the soul. I’m still giddy about it, and can’t wait to go back.
So many great moments to be present with, right? Certainly plentiful at the beach, but “magic moments” arise anywhere we give our full attention. That’s when shear delight emerges so brightly. When we allow every cell of our being to soak in the beauty, joy and aliveness of a slice of time, it transforms life from ho-hum to extraordinary.
On Memorial Day, we enjoyed a boat parade in Newport Beach. More than the scrumptious shrimp taco at a dine-in restaurant or the glorious weather was being around magnificent humans. Oh, I miss my people!! How about you?
Both experiences had me feeling life back to normal. Of course, we’re not there yet. But, damn (oh dear, I hope that doesn’t offend anyone), it sure felt good to pretend for a few days, or at least for these many transcendent moments in time.
Which leads us to the focus of today’s ezine. Whooooo hooooo!!!
In the midst of all the uncertainty, upheaval and unusual times, what is the simplest and fastest path back to inner peace?
It is simply being present.
I know, I know… this doesn’t sound like a magic elixir, does it? Don’t be disappointed. And don’t write this off. Stay with me.
Because, when you get really, really, really good at allowing all of you to engage with the present moment, you’ll see for yourself just how ecstatic it can be… and how it truly is the simplest and fastest path back to inner peace.
However, if you’re at all like me, you might notice it’s super duper easy to get lost in a gazillion thoughts, distracted by this or that, or to mindlessly drift into la la land…. and miss, oh so many moments of time. Especially if you’re not just relaxing on a beach somewhere. Granted, it’s easier to be present in the presence of Mother Nature.
When I first ready Eckhart Tolle’s book, “The Power of Now,” it inspired me to live more fully in the present moment, but I was pretty lousy at it. Mostly, I just kept forgetting to be present. Who can relate to that?
But, like anything, we can learn to be more present. We really can. This is exactly what happened to the mother of three children I mentioned above. Her attention was flip-flopping like a school of sharks out of water. Her thoughts were numerous and big ones. But over time, she got really, really good at calling forth her full attention, and it transformed her relationship with her children and her life. This can happen for you, too.
To make it easier for her and you (and me too), I created something called “NOW Practices,” which I first introduced in my book, The Power of Inner Choice: 12 Weeks to Living a Life YOU Love.
NOW Practices are simply the practice of “being present.”
To make it super easy to boost your ability to be present, to quickly learn about choosing the right NOW Practice and get valedictorian good at “being present,” I made it the focus of today’s Rapid Reset Video.
The cool thing about NOW Practices is the more you do them, the more you find yourself automatically being more profoundly present than before. It’s super, super cool when that happens.
And the best part of being more present is experiencing more delicious inner peace, and escaping all that zaps it.
Rapid Reset Video #5
Being Present & NOW Practices
Simple right?
And trust me on this. They work!!!
But you have to do your part.
Choose 1-2 NOW Practices and put the “5 Keys to Being More Present” to work. (They are in the video). And remember, you’re not adding any new “to-do’s” to your already busy life. You are simply adding your “full presence” and “attention” to 1-2 activities. It’s SO doable.
Are you in?
You do want to be more present, right?
If so, I’d love to hear what one or two NOW Practice you commit to. Reply to this email, share in the comments of my blog, or in the Inner Peace on Purpose Facebook group. Seriously, I want to hear from you. And tell me how it goes for you over time.
I pinky promise you this, NOW Practices work. But, don’t take my word for it, see for yourself.
To take NOW practices deeper, just refer to your copy of The Power of Inner Choice: 12 Weeks to Living a Life YOU Love. What?! Don’t have a copy yet? Well, if you don’t already have a copy, please snatch one up. It happens to be a great time to get an autographed copy because they’re on sale for only $9.95. Plus shipping is free if you live in the USA. It’s an awesome read!!! (Yep, I’m a little biased, but lots of people say this too, so it’s not just me.)
