Not Being Fully Present Is One Of The Big Reasons Relationships Break Down

What does being present mean?

Being present means fully enjoying the moment you are in, when you feel calm and know exactly what you want. You are giving your full attention to the person you are with or the thing you are doing. You are fully focused on what you are doing and don’t care about anything else going on around you.

When was the last time you felt totally present in the moment?

In this fast-paced world with so many distractions, many of us have lost the ability to pay attention to what is truly important. It becomes difficult to really enjoy life and be happy and our relationships often suffer.

Have you ever been in the presence of someone who was not really listening? How did it make you feel?

If you struggle with being present, you’ll probably face the following challenges:

• You’ll be less productive
• You’ll be less creative and
• You’ll find it difficult to make decisions.

People who are able to focus their attention on “the now” are

• more flexible
• can easily overcome workday stress and restore order after a chaotic situation
• enjoy getting things done,
• make better decisions,
• have better relationships, and
• produce more.

I’ll share a great technique on how to Be More Present in my next post.
