There are no tips or tricks or hacks to living a life committed to high performance, mastery of self, or the good life. None of those quick fixes really work, but there are a handful of principles that matter. To be more present, you need to practice being present. Practice any skill in a calm environment first, then a little noisier and more chaotic, then in more rugged or consequential environments. If you want to be more present, it’s paramount that you have a practice of practicing being present in a calm environment where the stakes are not high. Where you can just refocus your mind back to the one thing. No shortcuts. Just principles and practice. #psychology #findingmastery #mindset #mastery
