Two Simple Steps to Gain Presence Fast

Jan 31, 2024

If you are not present in your body, you will not only miss opportunities and be unable to connect with others on a deeper level, you’ll also get taken advantage of.


When you are only in your head, you cannot FEEL the intention of other people. You cannot tell who is good for you and who is bad.


Yes, you have a ton of success. You’ve accomplished so much in the world, yet you get burnt out over and over again.


You’re tired, overworked and look like you “have it all” and people tell you that you are “doing amazing things in the world.” Yet you feel like you are on a constant hamster wheel and there’s no way out.


Everyone says, “get present.” But nobody teaches you how. When I learned HOW to be present, it was a total gamechanger. I no longer felt at the whim of my life, but instead felt the power I had within to create EXACTLY what I wanted for myself.


Presence is the key to unlocking your fullest potential. A high achiever with presence can move mountains. It’s when the high achiever gets in their head, everything gets mucked up, relationships suffer, health suffers and nobody wins.


Here are two simple simple steps to gain presence:


First, be with your breath. If you are not with your breath, you are not present. Period. Keep your body soft. Feel your breath come into your body and out of your body smoothly and easefully. Holding your breath leads to stuck thoughts and energy. Letting your breath continuously flow, keeps you in the flow of life and brings you to the present moment. Any time you feel stuck, simply come back to your breath and steady the flow so it is not stopping anywhere.


Second, keep your awareness in your body. If you keep your awareness in the lower part of your body, it’s easier to stop thinking. One way to do this is to notice if your belly button is tight and pulled back toward your back or if your belly button is soft and there is a lot of space between your belly and back. If your belly is tight, your mind is most likely overworking and may burn yourself out. Thoughts take way more energy than being in your body. Softening your belly button will create presence, save you tons of energy and even give you more time in your days!


If you gained more presence, what would change in your life?

Dynamic posture, in stark contrast to its static counterpart, is a powerful force that embraces the natural curvatures of the body while in motion. Unlike static posture, which emphasizes the importance of staying still with a straight spine, dynamic posture recognizes that the body is designed for movement and constant adaptation. The magic of dynamic posture lies in its ability to allow the body's natural curves to work harmoniously, promoting strength, flexibility, and resilience. When we move dynamically, whether walking, running, or engaging in physical activities, the body instinctively adjusts to maintain stability while accommodating its inherent curves. This adaptability not only prevents strain on specific muscles and joints but also promotes a more comprehensive engagement of the musculoskeletal system. Static posture, on the other hand, often leads to stiffness and rigidity. While a straight spine is crucial for certain activities, maintaining this position for extended periods can result in discomfort and potential health issues. Dynamic posture, by embracing the body's curves, encourages a more fluid and natural way of moving, reducing the risk of chronic pain and promoting overall well-being. Understanding the power of dynamic posture is crucial in a world where sedentary lifestyles prevail. Incorporating dynamic movements into daily routines not only fosters physical health but also enhances mental well-being. By acknowledging and respecting the body's natural curvatures during movement, individuals can unlock the full potential of dynamic posture, leading to a more balanced and resilient approach to life.

Did you know, according to a 2018 study by Freeletics , people who exercise regularly make $25,000 or more than those who do not exercise? You are made of energy and energy is in your body. You are a massive energetic being in a really small physical form. So, when you don't exercise your small physical form and your massive internal energies start to grow, your body and energy struggle with one another. Many of us have heard that we need to take care of our bodies. But, it’s important to understand that the body is both physical AND energetic. Your body is vibrationally alive! Physical exercise, especially mindful movement, allows the energy in your body to flow through you, so you don't get stuck in a rut in your life. When you are moving with more fluidity, everything in your life flows more easily, including money. Mindful exercise helps money flow in and through your life with more ease. When you are in your head and not moving your body, money tends to have a “stop and go,” flow, especially if you are worried about money. Inconsistent cash flow is a HUGE stressor for many people. When you are in your body and enjoying life, you are more open to manifest and receive more money. What if consistent mindful movement could create consistent cash flow in your life? To understand why mindful movement can help you manifest more money, you may need to look at it from a different perspective. Let’s take a look at how you can begin creating more movement with your body while increasing your flow of money.

Have you been experiencing a blockage in creativity? What about pleasure in life? Instead of feeling at peace and calm, you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and confused on your next steps. When my clients come to me with a creative block or feeling anxious, I generally know it’s a blockage in their sacral chakra. When your sacral chakra is cleared, creativity comes to you easily, life is full of wonder and fun again, and you’re able to move through the world with a peace you may not have known before. When you’re in that space, new opportunities arise, potential new clients are attracted to you, and you’re able to create to draw in more clients to work with you. Let’s get into where the sacral chakra is and how to clear it through simple movement.

The morning is the most important part of determining success for your day. How you wake up in the morning determines how you show up during the day in your life. I have been practicing a morning routine for years. I often get asked what my morning routine looks like so I’m sharing some of the practices I have implemented in my own life so that you may be inspired to create a morning routine for yourself. First, my morning routine involves three things that are non-negotiable for me. I must do these three things if I want to feel satisfied with my day. I highly recommend creating your own, “non-negotiables,” to start your day. Note that yours may look different than mine and that’s okay. Here are the practices I put into my own morning routine that helps me get started and stay grounded all day.
