183: Be Where Your Feet Are

“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” Mark Twain   High performers know that being present is something we need to practice. Now is the more distracted time in our history and we must practice focusing on attention on what matters – the present. With phones and technology, we can be easily distracted and anxiety. To practice mindfulness, or staying in the present non-judgmentally, we can use a body scan – mental scan, environmental scan, or head to toe scan. This helps connect us with what’s going on right now so we can be the best we can be!   Power Phrase this Week:  "I gently bring my attention to the present moment. Letting go of all worries or regrets. Instead, empowered to reach my best right here and right now." Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant, Speaker and Author.
