How to Shift from Anxiety to Peace by Embracing the Power of Presence

Hey Friends,

You know where I’m at, right? Yep, I’m in bed, just after nine, with the comforting nighttime sounds of ducks and bullfrogs serenading me, and I actually really, really love it. It’s funny how when I first moved to Florida, those same noises felt like such a racket! I was worried when my sister came to visit that the sounds would bother her, but to my relief, she slept just fine. It’s amazing how these little things we once found annoying can become the very things that lull us to sleep, grounding us in the present moment.

This got me thinking—how often do we get caught up in the noise of uncertainty? This week has been full of it. From changes at work to conversations with family and friends, uncertainty seems to be the theme. But then I started reflecting on how I want to respond to that—what would it look like if I chose to approach it from a place of feminine energy?

Here’s what I’ve realized: it’s all about being in the moment. Instead of fixating on past choices or future possibilities, what if we just are—right here, right now? Because this moment is all we truly have. And in this moment, we have the power to create memories, make shifts, and find joy. I love how one of my coworkers exemplifies this. When he talks to you, he’s fully present, making you feel like you’re sharing the secrets of the universe. It can be uncomfortable because we’re just not used to that level of attention. But it’s so refreshing, and it’s a beautiful reminder to be present with ourselves and others.

So, as I work on reconnecting with my feminine energy, I’m focusing on staying present—listening to my body, paying attention to how I feel, and making choices that bring me joy in the here and now. It’s a practice, but it’s a powerful one.

And I want to invite you into this practice too. Let’s shift our focus away from the uncertainties and the “what-ifs” and instead savor the present moment.
