Be Present & Enjoy

As summer winds down, are you feeling overwhelmed or fragmented because of too many things on your plate?

The next two weeks are often the most difficult for Mompreneurs. Through the transition, there is an overlap of activities for the end of summer and the beginning of fall, all happening at the same time! You’re probably finishing vacations, wrapping up those summer barbeques and trying to shop for supplies as you get your kids back on track for the school year. With this extra flurry of activity, you feel the intensity of juggling added responsibilities it’s hard to be present and enjoy your life.

Instead of being frustrated, exhausted and perhaps “done” with summer, I want you to to experience the priceless opportunity of connection, fun and lasting memories.

So how do you navigate this transition time? What will bring ease and grace so you aren’t robbed of the joy that’s available?

Today Hannah Hollett, my guest author and client has provided some powerful tips on being present so you can fully enjoy.

Reconnect with your body and listen to what it is saying! Learn what it feels like (physically) when you are honoring your values and being present.  Do you feel light, flowing and full? Notice what happens when you are not being present.  Do you feel tightness in your chest, shallow breathing, and tension when you are ignoring what is important to you? Listen to your body as it will never lie to you. Use your body as a guidance system and make the choices and changes needed to “be present”.

Carry a small object that you can literally wrap your fingers around as a reminder to be in this moment. As an example, keep a smooth stone in your pocket to act as an anchor reminding you to be present!

Trust that you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now. Even when things are challenging there is always a gift to experience. Being present will keep you conscious and aware allowing everything to be your teacher.
