Cultivating presence is a practice of being your authentic best moment to moment, aware and free of the pressures of conflicting, limiting or contradictory beliefs.
This practice requires a commitment to compassionate mindfulness which, in turn, aligns vision, values and actions in service to a higher calling.
The best effect of fine persons is felt after we have left their presence. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Imagine Being the Best You Can Be!
Being the Best You Can Be is a process of becoming – of step by step, intentional and creative transformation.
Getting in touch with and aware of what matters helps clarify your purpose and eventually, with practice and coaching support, you are able to free yourself of the negative, self-sabotaging unconscious beliefs that keep you stuck.
Taking responsibility for yourself is a Self-empowering process. No longer giving power away to unconscious beliefs that so often hold power and control your response to the events in your life, you become capable of creating beliefs that motivate and inspire focused, purposeful action.
7 Indicators of Self-Sabotaging Beliefs in Action
In a social context, at work or at home, you find yourself:
- Feeling impatient, frustrated, anxious
- Trying too hard, being too eager, overbearing
- Unable to focus and be present in the moment.
- Completing sentences for others
- Rushing the speaker
- Distracted – thinking about other things
- Thinking negatively about yourself (self-doubts creeping in)
These indicators and others like them reveal the presence of conflicting or contradictory beliefs or judgments and are experienced as emotional discomfort to varying degrees of intensity.
