I love that you're talking about this, and it feels synergistic since I'm also focusing on presence. I keep having to "come back" to myself. I actually begin to notice thoughts similar to those you mentioned and the anxiety creep in and I tell myself to "come back".
I have a mini-practice for myself:
I ask myself on a scale of 1-10 what level of anxiety am I experiencing?
Then, when I have an answer, I ask if it's necessary in this moment to be experiencing that level? If so, what can I do to help. If not (which is often), then what is the true level in this moment?
The key is that in asking I find myself coming back into connection, and into the present moment.
I look forward to your 5 in 5! I've been thinking of doing something similar with breathwork. Perhaps we could collaborate somehow in the future, if you're interested :)
Thank you, Liz. I'm glad that this stack resonated with you.
Being present is a constant struggle for me and I have found that these small practices are quite helpful. Thank you for sharing yours. I will try it sometime.
I'm always open to collaborating so feel free to email me with a proposal. 💛💛
