Ep 23: Your True Power is Found in the Present

This week's episode is all about being present and what that can mean for our lives. We discuss what it means not to be present and what that looks like and feels like. We discuss what it means to be in a threatened state and how distraction can also be a form of resisting what is occurring and takes us away from being present. We explore research by Killingsworth and also mention the book "Flow" as two forms of data to support our understanding and why being present matters in our life. We discuss the identity and ego as a means of keeping us from being fully present as well to our full possibilities in life, how we can miss the point of personality profiling tests, briefly discuss the enneagram and also how to bring greater presence into our daily lives through meditation and mindfulness practices that include journaling, vipassana meditation and visualization techniques.
