The Power of Presence – Learn Anything Easier
When most of us are training, practicing, or performing a crucial skill in our lives, most of us are either living in the past and thinking about how we performed in the past, or we're looking into the future and wondering how are we going to do and what's going to happen in the future. Rather than being in the present moment where we can actually affect some change. Now, I will share with you the power of presence in our lives.
Being Present In The Moment
Let’s say you're playing golf, and you are not present in the moment of that swing. You have no control over what's going to happen. If you're thinking about the last shot you made, if you're thinking about two holes down, and what's going to happen.

That's what meditating does. It helps you tap into your subconscious mind. So you can live in the present moment and get better at everything you do. As I said, meditation is really simple. The problem most of us have is that we overthink it.
We think it's more complicated than it needs to be. Plus, it's kind of hard to get feedback on whether you're doing it right. The thing is, you really don't need feedback. If you sit with your eyes closed and listen, focus on one thing, and learn to control your thoughts, you are meditating.
If you have a problem with the word meditation, call it something else. Call it brain performance training. It's going to help you and it's going to teach you to be present in every moment of your life. Learning to be present will not just make you better at one skill. Learning the power of presence is going to make you better at life.
