Finding Presence: Brendan's Journey with His Inner Child
And so, yeah, so, dancing around the house, sometimes with my children, but sometimes just by myself, that is when I feel most presence.
Ever feel like you're constantly chasing the next thing on your to-do list? Brendan knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Hart to Harts', he opens up about his struggle to stay present amidst life's chaos. Brendan shares how he often found himself lost in thoughts about future projects, always stressing over what needed to be done next. But things started to change when he became a father to three kids.
Their natural ability to live in the moment helped him reconnect with his inner child and find a sense of presence he had been missing. Brendan talks about how simple activities like puzzles and the festive joy of Christmas initially provided him with guilt-free breaks from his stressors. However, he realized that these were just temporary fixes. To truly live in the moment, he needed a deeper connection with his body and mind.
That's when he discovered the power of embodiment. Dancing around the house, sometimes with his children and sometimes alone, became a way for him to ground himself in the present. This episode isn't just about Brendan's journey; it's a reminder for all of us that being present is more than a mental exercise. It's about engaging our whole selves—mind and body—in the here and now.
Whether you're looking to connect with your inner child or find new ways to be present, Brendan's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
