A reader commented on one of my posts about being present. I think it's worth repeating my answer.

There was a book out a couple of years ago called Enlightened Power. In it, several of the 40 contributing high profile female authors discussed the concept of being present.

As women, we are so busy trying to make everything happen, that we become preoccupied. It's not about being a people pleaser or over-doing it. We just do! And with the onset of email, iphones, games, facebook, it makes it harder than ever to 'be present.'

Try being present for one hour each day. No cell phone, no email, no texting, no facebook. But go further. Actually try to 'be in the moment' for one hour a day.

Let me know how it goes!
