The greatest gift you can give someone is the gift of your undivided attention—to be fully present with them.
I received a wonderful phone call from my daughter this week and I could hear the excitement, the pleasure, the gratitude in her voice when she told me that she was teaching her daughter to sew. She said, “She picked out the pattern and the fabric. It reminded me of the time you taught me to sew, and I had to call you.“
A text message and an emoji just would not have conveyed her joy. I was so grateful for the communication that occurred just hearing her energy.
How often do we take the time to really communicate from our hearts, not just transfer information. Your energy is a true gift to everyone, so I ask you to consider taking time to really be present with your friends, significant other or your pets, or go out and put your hands on a tree and give it your undivided attention; just breathe with the tree and you will find your stress has disappeared and you will feel refreshed.
Give five minutes a day of your undivided attention to those you cherish. They will feel heard, and so will you.
Life is a gift. The purpose is joy. Find yours
