CULTIVATING PRESENCE

GENUINE CURIOSITY

(#2)

 

Are you engaging in a way that is showing genuine curiosity or are you unknowingly engaging in a way that has an underlying bias, lack of care, or a judgement?  If you have ever felt unsure of what to say in a conversation or have felt discomfort or boredom in social situations, today's inspiration will give you tips on what to talk about that will create more meaningful connection.

LEARNING TO BE ENJOY BEING ALONE

(#3)

When you don’t learn how to enjoy your own company, you risk making choices, friendships, or commitments just to fill the silence. But when you can be with yourself fully, you carry a calm confidence that’s magnetic—people feel your energy, not your neediness—and that draws the right people and experiences toward you.

AWE & WONDER

(#4)

 

Tuning into the awe and wonder around us has a profound impact on our ability to be present and curious, which deepens our connections.  Today's inspiration will give you tips on how to take an "awe walk" and specific questions you can ask yourself that will help you deepen your connection to self and the world around you.

FROM ENJOYMENT TO JOY

(#5)

Enjoyment is fleeting, often tied to outside circumstances.
Joy, however, is cultivated from within—and when you stop outsourcing it, you show up more grounded, generous, and present for yourself and everyone around you.

FROM RELATIONSHIP INERTIA TO FULFILLMENT

(#6)

 

We can often get stuck talking about logistics or feel that there is nothing more to know about someone whom we have been in relationship with for a long time.  If you have ever felt the inertia in your relationships with people you care about (partners, friends, family), today's inspiration gives you a tip on a specific conversation you can have with that person to deepen connection and feel greater fulfillment.

It's ALWAYS possible to deepen your connection no matter how long you have known each other!

OVERCOMING OUR OWN STORIES

SHIFTING ENERGY DRAIN TO BEING ENERGIZED

(#9)

Oftentimes people will self-isolate or disengage because it feels energy draining to connect.  Today's inspiration shares the ways to connect with greater intention that completely energizes you versus draining you.  Plus tips how to spark meaningful conversations with strangers!

FROM TRIGGERS TO CONNECTION

(#10)

 

We can often get triggered by what someone says to us and it causes us to get frustrated or to build up resentment.  Today's inspiration gives you a tip on how to move through the trigger with greater curiosity and patience that will dramatically shift the outcome and instead of causing tension it will lead to deeper connection.
