Presence, Mindfulness and Stillness 

PRESENCE
Presence is defined, simply enough, as being, interestingly enough… present in this moment. With our mind and senses focused exclusively in the here and now. 
So, what then is Mindfulness?
MINDFUNESS
Mindfulness includes presence, plus more.
In the most common definition, being mindful means to remain present, but also to effectively step back and observe yourself in the moment. How you are feeling and behaving in the here and now. In mindfulness, you disengage, almost like a third person, observing how you are feeling, acting and reacting. Not judging or criticizing yourself. But simply observing yourself in a detached manner.

But, let's take mindfulness a little further. Or, perhaps, just clarify it a little more. Because mindfulness is a powerful tool for developing self-compassion and personal growth.

When we step back and observe our beingness and our behavior from a detached, third person perspective, without judgement or criticism and with compassion and patience, we can effectively coach ourselves into being a higher version of ourselves in the moment and in the future.

The goal with mindfulness is not just to detach and observe, but to do so with the ultimate intention on improving some aspect of ourselves. We want to grow, develop and be our best self, doing our best work, achieving optimal outcomes with ourselves and our work, remaining otherwise present, in this moment.

Because the ultimate utility and power in mindfulness is not to simply be able to observe ourselves in a detached manner. Mindfulness’s ultimate value is as a tool for us to grow and develop as a human being. To become a higher version of ourselves, doing better works. Stretching and reaching higher levels with our lives.

With mindfulness, we’re also intent on improving some other aspect of ourselves. We want to grow, develop and be our best self, doing our best work, achieving optimal outcomes with ourselves and our work, remaining otherwise present, in this moment.

STILLNESS
Okay, so how does stillness differ from presence and mindfulness? 

Stillness takes presence and mindfulness one step further.

Isn’t it true we can be present, yet not feel a stillness in our spirit? 

I mean, all hell could be breaking loose around us, literally or metaphorically, and we could remain present in the here and now, and not feel or experience much, if any, inner peace or stillness, right?

And, the same goes with mindfulness. We can remain present and mindful, yet not feel deep or abiding stillness within.

So, we can remain present, yet not particularly still within. 

On the other hand, we can also remain present, while remaining still within. So, it’s not like the two are mutually exclusive.
