Time For Some Tough Love From Uncle G😬

Being Present and Giving a F*ck

Time for some tough love from uncle G…

Look, I get it. We like to think what's going on with us is the most important thing in the world and that others need to understand our situation day-to-day.

We can get caught up in our lives and forget to be in the moment.

But in the grand scheme of things, we are hardly even a blip in the history of time. A speck on a planet, in our country, or even in our state.

In other words: You ain't shit brah.

I'm not saying that to imply you don't matter, but I want to offer you some perspective. More importantly, I want to highlight an essential skill that I find when sharpened, helps me interact as a better human. That skill is awareness.

Most define awareness as knowledge or perception of a situation or fact.

Bringing that into real life, I've found that true awareness of your situation– not just concerning time and space– but with friends and colleagues, helps you be more empathetic and intentional in your daily interactions.

My presence and awareness go hand in hand, and I find meditation helps me unlock a deeper sense of awareness.

The next time you have a cluttered internal dialogue, I urge you to do the following. Take a second to pause, breathe, and then see how it affects your clarity.

I'm challenging you to take small actions today to intentionally raise your awareness and be present.
