As I have mentioned, I spend much of my day in a Top Secret area known as a SCIF. There are no window and no cell phones.
At first I had some apprehension of being away from my cell phone that much. But now I love it! It is amazing how present I have become in the moment when I am literally not thinking about my phone in my pocket. What a liberating thing it is to be detached from those things that sap our ability to be fully present!
Maybe it is just me, but I have had some amazing conversations in the SCIF and I think a big part of that is that we know we are not going anywhere and we don't have the fear of a cell phone interrupting us.
I have come a long ways in making friends with the SCIF...it is a gift.
What distractions can you leave in order to make you more present?
