In this episode of 'Livin the DREAM with Matt Scoletti', Matt reveals three simple secrets to becoming more present in everyday life. With a background that includes overcoming a decade-long battle with alcoholism, Matt's energy and passion shine through as he shares his tips for shedding distractions and embracing the moment. The first secret? Ditch the earbuds. While they might seem like a harmless accessory, they can block out life's potential encounters and moments of connection.
Imagine missing out on meeting someone who could change your life because you were too busy jamming to your favourite tunes! The second secret is to embrace the great outdoors. Whether it's a quick 10-minute stroll or a longer hike, stepping outside without headphones can transform your day.
Matt explains how being in nature can heighten your awareness, helping you notice things you’ve overlooked for years – like the quirky red siding on a neighbour's house or the playful dog next door. Lastly, Matt touches on gratitude as a staple for presence. He encourages listeners to savour small moments, like a child's smile or a friendly chat with a mate, and condition themselves to appreciate life's beauty.
By practising gratitude, you can shift your focus from negativity to recognising all the wonderful things around you. Matt’s infectious enthusiasm and practical advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to become more present and live life to the fullest. So why not take these tips for a spin and see how they change your daily routine?
