Today I went for a walk by the water. It was another beautiful day here in Seattle.
As usual there were lots of dogs walking their people.

I noticed one puppy with its brand new family. They were full of smiles, laughter and happiness. I knew the puppy would remain happy and present, and I wondered if the family would...

 
Could they maintain their sense of wonder for their new family member?
​
​Staying present to the constant gifts in life, (including a new puppy), can be challenging. Here are a cuple of ways to stay present and focused on the coolness of being alive. 
  • Meditate... there are lots of ways to meditate... such as Walking, Breathing, Mindfulness, Guided, Intentional, I am, Vipassana, Zen, the list is endless... and as little as five minutes a day can make a significant difference to your brain and your life.   
Science is proving that meditation is highly beneficial. It has a calming effect, which helps with:
  • Increased Concentration 
  • Decreased Stress levels 
  • Increased Health
  • Increased Happiness 
According to Mark Waldman forty five minutes of meditation a day will actually shrink your Thalamus, the information director in your brain. This is a good thing! See his TedX talk here...
  • Read books... like The Power of Now or The Four Agreements. One thing that will help you stay present is reading books that keep you centered in being, (not always doing).

Why does this matter? Because you matter, your life matters, your gifts matter!!!

Be centered and present and fully enjoy the magic of being the unique, gifted, amazing you...
