The subject for this week’s blog is something most of us can relate to. The concept is so basic, human, simple, relatable and refreshing, yet often it is something we opt not to do. It really requires zero to little effort to readjust the mindset to just do what is expected. What is it?
SHOW UP
We show up for daily for things like work, meetings, engagements, appointments, events, commitments and other obligations. Ask yourself this question. When you show up, do you fully and completely show up and commit or do you allow those distractions?
POWER
I read on article on www.shondaland.com where a fellow by the name of Pete Davis, a Harvard Law graduate gave a commencement speech about the power of showing up and committing. I will synopsize by saying when we are pulled in many different directions, we are not giving anything our full attention. We are in infinite browsing mode. We worry that we are missing out if we don’t take that call or respond to that text. We can be present in the physical sense yet far away in our thoughts and actions. Guilty as charged. What lies on the other side of missing out? The depth of joy by showing those you are with the honor and respect of being totally and completely present in the moment. With the exception of an emergency, the call, text or photo opportunity can probably wait.
UNCONDITIONAL ATTENTION
Showing up and giving unconditional attention is an integral part of strong and important relationships. It is a reflection of your integrity. Showing up is half the battle. It involves physical and emotional presence. Be attuned to the feelings of others. Psychology today says that showing up is sometimes for ourselves and sometimes for others. Whether our relationships are strong or fractured, simply showing up and being there is what nourishes and strengthens those relationships and the connection points that make and keep them vibrant and alive.”
