Being More Present Can Make U More Calm, Confident and Happier



I've been working on being more present for the last week. I learned about presence from Travis Decker and Bryan Bayer of the Authentic Man Program. There is a similar program for woman called The Authentic Woman Experience. My social interactions have been a lot more interesting anf fulfilling lately. I've felt more calm and confident in public and in social situations. SO what is presence you ask?


Being present is basically being aware of what is going on around you and the feelings in your body. Its the opposite of being "in your head". For example, if you're speaking to someone your attention is on them, how they make you feel, how they're feeling, what they're saying, how they look, the environment around you, etc. Your attention is not on worrying about what they think of you, or worrying about what to say next, or worrying about screwing up, etc.


When you're present you're in the moment. You're not thinking about your past or worrying about the future. Youre bringing yourself fully to every interaction, every decision and every situation. You're honest with yourself and others about what you want and who you are.


Being more present will improve your mood, make you feel more relaxed and allow you to enjoy the little things in life more. The Authentic Man Program and The Authentic Woman Experience are designed to help you with dating and relationships, but they can improve all aspects of your life.

Hope you're feeling well
