However, many people struggle to experience moments of presence each day, leading to feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, and burnout. These negative emotions not only affect how we operate as business owners but also impact our family unit.

In this article, we'll explore established ways to be more present in our daily lives.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to be present in the moment is to practice gratitude. Gratitude is the feeling of appreciation that can counteract negative emotions. When we practice gratitude daily, we can train ourselves to focus on the present and be more mindful.

Another way to be more present is to find awareness. Everyone has blind spots and seeking someone who can help us see past them can be invaluable. By becoming aware of ourselves and our surroundings, we can experience situations differently and see things from a broader perspective.

Acceptance is also crucial in being present. By accepting ourselves and situations as they are, we can move forward without dwelling on things we cannot change.

Lastly, cultivating an abundant mindset is essential for being present. By focusing on abundance, we can feel fulfilled and release feelings of frustration or overwhelm, allowing us to enjoy the moment and be present with anything at hand.

Some practical action steps we can use immediately to BE present in our daily lives include: taking deep breaths to relax, practicing meditation to clear our minds, journaling to brain dump our thoughts, moving our bodies to release endorphins, and focusing on one activity at a time. Multi-tasking can make it impossible to be fully present.

When we are present in every moment, we are in a high-energy state. This allows us to not be distracted as we focus on the experience at hand. Our intuition heightens, and we are open to everything as it occurs. When the moment passes, we can then put all our energy into the next one.

Being present in the moment is essential for success in our lives. By practicing gratitude, finding awareness, accepting situations, having an abundant mindset, and using practical action steps, we can train ourselves to be more present and mindful in everything we do.
