Things That Demand Presence

Improv, travel… even baseball. There’s this throughline between the things I enjoy doing most.

They’re things that ask you to get out of your own head. To be in your body. And to be totally present.

It’s strange and a bit unfortunate that being present like that, having to focus on nothing but the event right in front of you, takes special effort and invitation. But locking into that flow is so rewarding.

I’m a bit of a chronic multitasker and doer-of-too-man-things in everyday life. Time usually feels like it’s going too fast. Rather than always trying to go faster I love those invitations to hop off the treadmill through something that feels a bit more like play.
