Meeting Theme, Word of the Day, Definition, and Quotes:
Theme: Go with the Slow
It’s a real challenge to slow down and reconnect with ourselves and those around us. By being present, intentional, and compassionate, we can foster stronger relationships and build a more connected community. Over the last several months, I’ve been learning more about the importance of connection, and the value of slowing down to appreciate the simple things in life.
Word of the Day: Presence
Presence refers to the state of being fully engaged and aware of the current moment. It involves being mentally, emotionally, and physically present without being distracted by thoughts of the past or future. When you are present, you are fully focused on what is happening around you and within you.
Quotes:
“The only thing that is truly yours is the present moment.” – Eckhart Tolle
“We’re a species that rushes through everything, then complains that time flies.” Steve Maraboli
“Presence is not some exotic state that we need to search for or manufacture. It is simply a matter of paying attention to what is happening in the present moment.” – Eckhart Tolle
“I have two kinds of problems: the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent.” Dr J. Roscoe Miller, president of Northwestern University (this is the basis of the Eisenhower Matrix)
