Presence means letting a moment finish before mentally replacing it.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

The mind moves to the next thing before the current thing has ended, so experiences get overwritten while they are still happening. A moment needs a small amount of empty time after it to actually land. Filling that gap immediately is how full days end up feeling like nothing.

Try leaving a few seconds between activities. After a conversation, before the phone. After a meal, before the next task. It is a very small change and it noticeably increases how much of your day you remember.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
