Employing Presence

Being Present At Work

Being present at work begins before we even go to our place of employment. It

starts with our intention to bring consciousness into everything we do,

including those activities we do for money. Whether you are a secretary who

files papers all day, a janitor who cleans the local high school, or a nurse

caring for children, there is much to be gained by fully engaging in the tasks

at hand. When you decide to bring your presence into your work activities, you

may find that the entire experience of working is filled with new energy and

life.

 

Sometimes we believe that when we step through the doors of our workplace, we

cease being ourselves and start being someone else¢s employee. Though our

employer may depend on us to perform certain tasks, the truth is that we never

stop being ourselves. The commitment to being a conscious, empowered person of

integrity doesn¢t stop and start with a time clock. Our decision to be present

for our own lives is what weaves together all of our experiences from the moment

we wake up, throughout our entire workday, and to the moment we turn off the

lights at night.

 

Before leaving for work today, you can clear your energy and choose to step out

with your best foot forward. Setting an intention in the morning can even help

you stay present as your day unfolds. You might decide to find joy in every

activity, complete all of your projects on time, or be truly helpful to your

coworkers. By being fully present, you will begin to radiate and people may

begin to notice; they may even want to follow your lead. Whether you run a

company or hold a sign outside a deli, do it with pride and be the best you can

be.
