Zen Coaching

You're in a conversation.

Someone is speaking, and you're already preparing your response in your mind. Already rehearsing what you'll say next.

You're not listening. You're preparing and performing.

Most of us do this all day. It doesn't mean we are rude, it's simply a deeply rooted habit.

The mind moves faster than the moment, and we miss to really hear and feel the conversation we're actually in.

Presence isn't an idea.
It's simply… being here. Fully, openly. Just here. With myself. With this person. In this exchange. Without already being somewhere else.

It sounds simple, and yet it changes everything.

Does this sound familiar?
When do you notice yourself doing this?
