Commitment to a thing that matters to you requires that you first recognize it as a priority. Right here, right now, THIS is what matters to you and so you give it your full attention. It engages and commands your attention and compels you to focus.
What’s in the way?
It is this compelling presence that receives your full attention – your energy and makes demands of you if you allow it. That is, if you can transcend your fears. In exchange for your energy and the effort of directed focus, you develop an unattached curiosity that allows you to make discoveries rather than judgments, and develop the discipline to assess the situation and make informed choices. Choices made, you commit yourself to action. How awesome it is to be able to get out of your own way and trust!
Mindfulness is a Practice
This mindfulness cycle of discovery, awareness, choice, action and reflection gives you a relaxed and peaceful state of mind that comes from a unitary focus – one mind; the focus undivided and clear.
In today’s fast-paced and demanding digital age of infinite distractions, giving your attention, mindfully, to a compelling presence allows you to continually renew your commitment to your Self – to what matters to you – to your deepest, innermost values. In the process, you discover how to help yourself stay focused and motivated.
There are never any guarantees and yet, you soon discover that the more you invest yourself in the moment, the less you worry about the end result. The more you give yourself to the process, right here, right now, the greater the satisfaction you experience through the growth in awareness and the development of skills, self-confidence and the simple enjoyment you receive from doing what you love.
When you do what you love and love what you do, you can’t help but find new ways to connect with others who share your values. It’s a wonderful way to be. Mindfulness coaching helps you get there. Schedule your own complimentary discovery session today.
