Simple ideas for more Presence in your Day
I’m a big fan concrete, realistic intentions. Here’s a list of simple ways to increase Presence in Your Life:
Bringing Presence into regular life - Approaching work and social interactions with more presence:
Feeling your breath
Tuning into sensations
Noticing impulses before acting
Taking breaks to check-in with yourself
Your ideas
Monotasking - Doing one thing at a time without looking at a screen, or listening to anything:
Eating Meals
Going for Walks
Siting and Meditating
Moving Your Body
Writing
Your ideas
Managing Screen Time:
Limit screen time for total time in a day or for particular apps
Don’t sleep with your phone in your room, do something else before looking at your phone in the morning
Set time constrictions on screen time for example: No screen time after 10pm or before 9am
Make a realistic intention that you can really do. Simple is good!
Some example intentions:
I’ll eat three breakfasts without multitasking this week
I’ll set an alarm once a day to take a break and check-in with how I’m feeling
I’ll attend 2 free classes and go for one walk without multitasking this week
