How Do I Become More Present?

So many people on social media and in my Membership talk to me about getting present. I hear that question over and over again and it's because when we are stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or feeling really flat - whatever it is that we're experiencing - if we feel we're suffering on some level, we are not present.

I thought I'd share with you the way I see it, and consider it for myself:

So if you're feeling rubbish, whatever that means for you. Just reflect and get curious and ask yourself:

Am I in my head or am I in my life?

If you're in your head, then you are paying attention to all your thoughts. You may be jumping ahead trying to predict the future. You are going to be feeling and experiencing all of those thoughts that you are paying attention to. It takes you away from the present.

If you are in your life, you are experiencing your life moment to moment. You are present in it, and that's a very very different experience.

I know from my own experience that when I start to feel rubbish, or flat or low, the chances are I've been far too long in my head and not in my life.
