Practice mindful presence in all interactions from "summary" of Conscious Loving by Gay Hendricks,Kathlyn Hendricks

To truly connect with others, it is essential to be fully present in every interaction. This means being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations as you engage with another person. By practicing mindful presence, you can cultivate a deeper level of connection and understanding in your relationships. When you are mindfully present, you are able to listen without judgment or distraction. You can give your full attention to the other person, truly hearing what they are saying and responding with empathy and compassion. This level of presence fosters trust and intimacy, allowing for open and honest communication. Mindful presence also involves being attuned to your own emotions and reactions in the moment. By staying present with yourself, you can prevent misunderstandings and conflicts from escalating. Instead of reacting impulsively, you can respond thoughtfully and consciously, taking into account both your own needs and the needs of the other person. In practicing mindful presence, it is important to stay grounded in the present moment. This means letting go of past grievances and future worries, and focusing on the here and now. By staying present, you can experience each interaction as it unfolds, without getting caught up in unnecessary distractions or preoccupations.
