today i had this epiphany...i have pretty tight boundaries on certain areas of my life. i've always felt like i needed to apologize for that way of how i've lived. but today i realized that my whole desire in having boundaries is to be loyal in the presence of others and in situations. i know that i will bring my cellphone out in meals...i try not to. i'm known to sometimes need to call/text someone in the middle of a meal b/c my companions and i are stumped on an issue or definition or something. i try not to do it that often.
so i was teaching at the gym today and realized that for the past hour or so i hadn't thought about anything else except being present to the class. i wanted to make sure that they were doing the exercises correctly. there are times when i won't be paying attention and boom...class is all crazy and confused. presence is important.
i think being presence is essential in good health, whole health. we sometimes allow distractions to dictate how we respond to situations and that's not fair to us or to others. so this week i choose to be present with you, my friends, my family, my feelings and even the weather :)
