People speak of International Living, but few speak of intentional living. That is to live each moment full of intention. In more pragmatic terms, it means to act without a ticker tape of "must dos, should haves, or if I only..." playing over the moment. It seems insane but most of us are rarely present in anything we are doing.
Having your body occupy a chair at dinner doesn't mean that you are showing up. Showing up takes courage, discipline and above all lack of regard for others opinions. After all that is none of our business.
Intentional Living is at it's core designed to bring pleasure, passion and joy and who doesn't want that?
So true. Most of us are only half-present 100% of the time. How does one become more intentional?
