Being Fully Present
Summon Your Aliveness

by Madisyn Taylor

When we live fully in the moment there is an aliveness that comes easily.


When we are fully present, we offer our whole selves to whatever it is that we are doing. Our attention, our integrity, and our energy are all focused in the moment and on the task at hand. This is a powerful experience, and when we are in this state, we feel completely alive and invigorated. This kind of aliveness comes easily when we are absorbed in work or play that we love, but it is available to us in every moment, and we can learn to summon it regardless of what we are doing. Even tasks or jobs we don't enjoy can become infused with the light of being present. The more present we are, the more meaningful our entire lives become.

Next time you find yourself fully engaged in the moment, whether you are making art, trying to solve an interesting puzzle, or talking to your best friend, you may want to take a moment to notice how you feel. You may observe that you are not thinking about what you need to do next, your body feels like it's pleasantly humming, or your brain feels tingly. As you enjoy the feeling of being located entirely in the present moment, you can inform yourself that you may try to recall this feeling later. You might try this while driving home or getting ready for bed, allowing yourself to be just as engaged in that experience as you were in the earlier one.

The more we draw ourselves into the present moment, the more we honor the gift of our lives, and the more we honor the people around us. When we are fully present, we give and receive aliveness in equal measure. For today, try to be fully present in your daily activities and watch a new reality open for you.


DailyOM Course Spotlight

Mojo Weight Loss
by Jacqui Justice

If you are overweight and feeling sluggish, somehow you have lost your mojo along the way. Reclaim your mojo and reclaim your health and vitality! Do you struggle with weight loss, finding it difficult to stay motivated and committed to your plan? Have you gained and lost the same 10 or more lbs. more times than you care to remember? Does your happiness and self-worth depend on the numbers on the scale? If so, then it is your mindset and approach that is the real issue here - not the diet or your inability to stick to it. What I'm saying is that you are going about this the wrong way, AND it's making it MUCH harder than it has to be. A more successful approach is to use what I call the "Mojo Mindset" which taps into the power of your inner mojo to help you achieve the results you are looking for. In this comprehensive 8 week course you will receive 1 weekly lesson which includes both a written and audio visualization and affirmation, a lesson that covers one or several topic! s, a daily action plan in the form of a weekly homework assignment, and an abundance of hands-on, useful information that you will use for years to come.
