How to Become More Present in Your Life

Most of us aren’t conscious of the temporary nature of life and we take time for granted. We simply continue through the motions of our routines, trying to get as much done as possible.

However, we need to wake up to this reality, because knowing that life has an expiration date awakens us to the fact that we should take in everything - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Instead of zoning out and being numb to the vibrancy of our present, we can become more purposeful and alive in everything that we do. In this episode, I share a few ways that you can redirect your attention to the present through mindfulness rituals and a shift in your mindset.

How to Avoid Saying and Doing Things You’ll Regret

At some point, we’ve all said or done things which we’ve later regretted. On the spur of the moment, you may have blurted out a few choice words or acted out without carefully thinking things through.

It’s precisely in these moments that we’ve got to overcome the temptation of instant gratification from saying exactly what’s on our mind without filtering it. Because saying and doing things which you’ll later regret could have dire consequences, especially in an age of social media where everything you put out there can be magnified.

In this episode, I share a few steps that you can take to prevent yourself for blurting things you may later regret. I also share a story that illustrates the importance of becoming more discerning about our words and actions, especially when we’re triggered.

Have you ever said or done something on the spur of the moment, only to regret it later? After reflecting on it, you may have said to yourself, “what was I thinking?” or “that’s not like me at all!”

Whether it’s those momentary lapses in judgement or the choices that you made which led to unsavory situations, you may wish you had thought things through before reacting. During those times, it may feel like your emotions clouded your mind and narrowed your vision.

Why the World is Far Better United than Divided

The idea of a united world sounds appealing, but the pragmatic side of us might question whether it’s realistic and sustainable given the complexity of local and international issues.

But I believe that the energy we use to build walls and armies could be put to better use in creating mutually beneficial policies and in aiding efforts to promote world peace. It may seem as if you, as an individual, can’t really do much to bring nations together. But that’s far from the truth.

In this episode, I outline the importance of unifying the efforts of various nations and how you can contribute to the process.
