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 an assistant who files papers all day, a custodian
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.
