My boyfriend and I went for a date last night and spent a good portion of the day together. Our time together is often where I notice most that I am not present. Yesterday, there were moments when i could feel myself becoming out of the present (worrying about something, defensive, argumentative, stubborn) and I (actually WE) were able to pull ourselves out of those situations fairly quickly without a big to do. It was nice to be present with him for most of the day. I’ve been complaining about a lack of connection and I felt a nice connection with him yesterday. I was myself, I had fun, we had fun. :) 2 years ago

I often find myself happy at work. I feel engaged in what I am doing and I feel like I can be myself. Today I realized that I am more frequently “present” at work than i am anywhere else. What is it about work that keeps me present? 2 years ago
