A Holiday Present:
Six Steps in Being Present

By Daniel Sadigh, Psy.D.

Being present


In this season of gift giving, have you thought of giving a present to yourself? How about being present as a present? Yes, giving a present brings joy to you and others; can you imagine the joy of this most valuable gift given to you by you and without spending a dime?


What is the gift of being present?

Once you can suspend the projection of past's negative experiences on what is going on right NOW and stop worrying about the future's negative outcomes affecting what is happening right NOW, you have received a gift. This gift, which gives you FREEDOM of CHOICE, can only be yours when you are PRESENT. Freedom can only be experienced when you are not attached to either the past or the future.

When you choose freely, your five senses are at your service to bring you the most accurate reports of what is going on around you. The richness in taste buds, the sensitivity in detecting aromas, the ability to differentiate shapes, the focus in recognizing differences in sounds, and the contactual alertness of physical feelings are at their optimum level, when YOU ARE PRESENT.

Why do we want this present?

You need to know the reality of every situation in order to act with clarity. The hurt of past experiences, recalling of painful memories, forecasting of the future, guessing, perceptions, and imaginations of unrealistic outcomes fog up the mind. The choices that are made without being clear on the details are relatively not the best choices and are not considered "responsible". As one becomes more "present" to life clarity of senses, feelings, and logic allow for acting responsibly and securely. This state of being provides you with your best choices in life. Imagine how making one good choice after another will better your life; that is when stress diminishes and you can live at peace. Pains, worries, fears, sadness, and frustrations seize to disturb you when you receive this gift.

How is this gift received?

There is a relatively simple practice for receiving the gift of being present:

Meditation. Those who meditate know how deeply we stop judgments and allow the answers to surface. The more you practice meditation, the easier you experience the power of being present. However, usually meditation requires reaching a state that is specifically and intentionally arrived at. How do you like to be in a meditative state on a continuous basis? If meditation is the sample of this gift, then living based on the following six steps will be pure JOY:

Holiday JOY or Blues?
How do you Holiday?

 

The season of joy is upon us! 'Tis season to celebrate, spend time with loved ones, be jolly, cheerful and enjoy the festivities. However, contrary to what is traditionally associated with the season of joy, a lot of us find ourselves stressed out, anxious, lonely and depressed. Unresolved issues tend to resurface this time of the year: disappointment from family members and friends, high expectations of ourselves and others, financial pressures, and grief from loss, all of which can be emotionally and physically draining. We feel out of balance and suffer the consequences. If this sounds like you, do not worry! You are not alone. Over 40% of people surveyed feel overwhelmed and stressed during the holiday season.


So, how do you Holiday?


Do you have the blues or are you joyous this year?  Are you stressed or do you feel cheerful and festive? What brings you happiness? How can you feel peaceful?


Well the good news is that there is a way, to feel peaceful and joyous even in the midst of hectic holiday season. This season give yourself and your loved ones the amazing, timeless gift of PEACE and JOY. We at the Wheel of Wellbeing are here to support you get the peace and joy you deserve. We are committed to your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We invite you to embark upon a journey of meaningful self-discovery, healing, and transformation.


Practice the five steps below and give the gift of PEACE and JOY to yourself!


Pause. When you feel anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or all of the above, simply pause; don't re-act. Walk away for a few minutes.... Give yourself a chance to choose your actions wisely.


Exhale! Take several long, deep breaths. Physiologically, this slows the adrenaline rush generated by stress and being overwhelmed. Breathing calms us and allows us to connect with ourselves and others with harmony.


 Allow. As you continue to breath, become present as to what is happening right now. Lovingly ask yourself: How does my body feel? How am I feeling emotionally? Am I open to receive? Am I reacting out of pre-judgments? Simply notice how YOU FEEL in this moment, without judging your experience or trying to change it. Allow yourself to just BE.


 Choose. Now that you have allowed yourself to pause, breathe and be, you have a clear mind to decide sensibly, without anger and judgment. At this state of calmness and acceptance you are able to choose freely without feeling stressed or forced.


  

 EnJOY. You did your best, now let go of the rest and ENJOY! It is all good, be kind and gentle with yourself, don't dwell on things that do not go your way. Let go and let Peace and JOY in.


Bonnie Sadigh

With PEACE and JOY to all
