The Importance of Presence

When we are intentional in how we spend our time, in who we invest in, in the activities we choose for our self-care and nourishment, we live a more peaceful and grounded life. This passage by Vex King reminds us of the importance of presence:

“Take walks without turning them into workouts. Sit with a book until you fall into slumber. Cook slowly, watch the sky change colour, and romanticize your rituals. Modern life teaches us to measure ourselves by achievement, but I don’t think we were meant to exist in a constant state of striving. We were meant to move slower, with full presence.” – Vex King
