Finding Calm In The Chaos: The Power Of Being Present

Life can get hectic, and it is easy to get caught up in our to-do lists and worries about the future or regrets of the past. We can miss out on the beauty and wonder of the present moment.

Being present is not just about being in the here and now, but it's also about taking in the beauty of nature, hearing birds sing, and feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. It's about making an effort to connect with those around you, being fully engaged in each conversation. It's important to be present in prayer in order to connect with God. Pausing to appreciate each moment can help you find peace and contentment. 


However, it's often hard to slow down and be present with our busy lives, but with practice, it's possible to train our minds to focus on the present moment. To help with this practice, try limiting distractions by turning off your phone or email notifications. Make time for things you enjoy, such as reading, spending time with friends or family, etc. and take a few deep breaths or pause for a few minutes throughout the day to focus on the present moment. 


When we are present in our interactions with others, nature, and in our spiritual practice, we can build deeper, more meaningful relationships. And this all ties in to setting intentions, having a purpose and connecting with God. 


With practice, being present can bring a sense of peace and contentment to our lives, that can help us in all aspects. 


If you find yourself struggling to be present, consider reaching out to a coach who can help you develop a practice that works for you. A coach can also provide guidance and support as you work towards being more present in your life.  

Get A Head Start On The New Year

Now is the perfect time to renew your focus and commit to making positive changes in your life.

 

As the new year approaches, many of us are thinking about what we want to accomplish and change in the coming year. For some of us, that might mean setting new goals or resolutions, while for others, it might mean taking a fresh look at where we are and where we want to be. No matter what your approach to the new year, one thing is certain: now is the perfect time to renew your focus and commit to making positive changes in your life.  

 

As women, we often have multiple roles and responsibilities that can make it challenging to stay focused and achieve success. Whether you are a mother, a career woman, or both, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of your goals. But with a little planning and effort, you can set yourself up for success in the new year and beyond. 

 

So how can you start the new year off on the right foot and set yourself up for success as a woman with multiple roles? Here are a few tips to help you get started:  

 

Reflect on the past year: Take some time to look back on the past year and think about what worked well for you and what didn't. Consider what you accomplished and what you wish you had done differently. This reflection can help you gain insight into what you need to focus on in the new year.  

Set clear and specific goals: Rather than setting vague resolutions, try setting specific, measurable goals for the new year. This will help you stay focused and motivated as you work towards achieving them. 

 

Make a plan: Once you have identified your goals, take some time to create a plan for how you will achieve them. Break your goals down into smaller, actionable steps, and assign deadlines to each one. This will help you stay on track and make progress towards your goals. 

 

Seek support: Whether you work with a coach, join a support group, or enlist the help of a friend or family member, having someone to hold you accountable and offer encouragement can be a powerful motivator. 

 

By following these tips, you can start the new year off with renewed focus and determination, and set yourself up for success in the year ahead. Remember, it's never too late to make positive changes in your life, and with a little planning and effort, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
