Living in the moment isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.
Imagine life as a captivating book, where each chapter unfolds with its own unique plot and lessons. In 'Read the Chapter You’re On: Embracing the Present in Life’s Ongoing Story', Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, invites you to explore this intriguing metaphor. Boysen challenges you to stop mentally rewriting past chapters or flipping ahead to the future. Instead, she encourages embracing the present moment, recognising it as the only place where action and awareness can truly occur.
Throughout the episode, Boysen delves into the illusion of control and how over-planning can distract us from engaging fully with the present. She highlights the importance of presence, urging listeners to identify the chapter they’re in and to ask themselves what lessons it holds. Are you experiencing a season of growth, rest, or perhaps rebuilding? By naming your current chapter, you can better understand its purpose and move forward with clarity.
Boysen also touches on life's seasonal shifts, both emotional and spiritual, and how acknowledging these can lead to a more meaningful existence. She offers practical advice on how to cultivate presence through sensory grounding and journaling, encouraging you to anchor yourself in the now. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by life's transitions or caught up in what-ifs, this episode provides gentle guidance on living fully in the present.
Boysen's approach is not about perfection but about practising presence—a skill that can transform everyday experiences into moments of profound connection and understanding.
