The Power of Presence: Learn Anything Easier

When most of us are training or practicing or performing a crucial skill in our life, something we want to be good at or we have to be good at. 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 on what we're doing

Say in golf, if you're playing golf and you are not being present - in the present moment of that swing, actually the exact instant that your club makes contact with that ball, 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, who's in the lead? Who's going to win? If you're thinking about any of that, rather than being present the exact second, the instant that that club makes, contact with the ball. You have no control, none over what's going to happen.

Let me be clear. If you are not keenly aware of what is happening in this instant, you have zero control over the outcome, but listen, learning to be present is really easy. All you need to do is meditate and meditating is also very easy.

All you need to do is close your eyes and focus on one thing. Focus on your breath and doing this is going to help you clear your mind and be able to control what you're focusing on in every moment of your life, and here's why meditation is so important or being present is so important.

You know your conscious mind can only focus on one thing at a time, but your subconscious can literally focus on hundreds of things. It can track hundreds of things that are going on around you, and every cell in your body has consciousness. It can give you vital information that can help you, and 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.

And like I said, meditating 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 and plus its kind of hard to get feedback on whether you're doing it right, but the thing is you really don't need feedback. If you sit with your eyes closed and listen to your breath and focus on one thing and learn to control your thoughts. You are meditating, and if you have a problem with the word meditation, then call it something else. Call it brain performance training. Call it training for whatever you want to get better at, but 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 is not just going to make you better at one skill. Learning to be present is going to make you better at life.
