The Gentle Redirection: Embracing the Practice of Presence

Redefining Your Relationship with Time
Part of living in the moment is shedding the myth of multitasking. The belief that you can effectively do multiple things at once is not only false—it's incredibly stressful. To be truly present, commit to single-tasking. When you are writing an email, just write the email; when you are eating, just eat. This focused attention not only improves the quality of your work but also makes the activity itself feel less frantic and more satisfying. By giving your full attention to one thing at a time, you honor the moment and make your day feel less rushed and more spacious.
