Put a Ring on It: Get Engaged… to Each Moment

What if the deepest commitment you could ever make wasn’t to a person, a plan, or a future version of yourself—but to this moment, right here?

So many women I work with are exhausted (myself included often times), not because life is asking too much, but because our minds are rarely where our bodies are. We replay conversations from the past, rehearse scenarios that haven’t happened yet, and overthink, overanalyze, and over-worry. Until we forget how to be.

If you’ve ever felt caught in chronic overthinking, stuck in old stories, or anxious about what’s coming next, you’re not alone (once again, myself included). This is the human condition in a culture that rewards speed, productivity, and constant mental motion.

But here’s the truth I’ve come to know, again and again:

Your power lives in the present moment.

When we’re stuck obsessing over the past, we relive pain that has already passed.
When we’re future-tripping, we borrow trouble that hasn’t arrived.

And in both cases, we miss the only place where life is actually happening—the now.

The present moment isn’t just a nice spiritual concept. It’s the place where your nervous system settles, your intuition can be heard, and your capacity for joy, creativity, and clarity expands.

The future you want is not created by worrying about it. It’s created by how present you are now.

Get Engaged—To This Moment

“Put a ring on it” is usually about commitment. About choosing. About saying yes—fully.

What would happen if you chose to get engaged to each moment of your life?

Not perfect presence. Not constant bliss. Just a willingness to come back—again and again—to what’s real, right now.

Engagement means showing up.
It means noticing when your mind has wandered and gently guiding it home.
It means choosing presence over autopilot.

And presence is a practice. I love this quote from mindfulness teacher Sharon Salzberg:

“Mindfulness isn’t difficult. What’s difficult is to remember to be mindful.”

And it is so true! 

The Toolkit That Brings You Back Home

You don’t need to overhaul your life to live more presently. You need tools—simple, embodied ways to return to center when your mind starts to spiral.

Breath awareness: Try 3 deep belly breaths to signal calm.
Micro-pauses: One conscious breath between tasks or conversations.
Body-based grounding: Feel your feet. Notice what’s beneath you.

These practices don’t just calm you—they anchor you. They remind your system that you are safe now, resourced now, and capable of choosing how you want to feel now.

Because here’s the reframe that changes everything.

Choosing the State that Supports You

This isn’t about bypassing hard emotions or pretending everything is fine. It’s about recognizing that you always have a choice about how you meet the moment.

You can meet it with tension—or with breath. With resistance—or with curiosity. With fear—or with presence.

When you prioritize how you want to feel, you begin living from alignment instead of reaction. And from that place, decisions become clearer. Relationships soften. Life feels less like something to manage and more like something to experience.

A Gentle Invitation

So today, I invite you to notice:

Where is your mind right now?
Is it in the past? The future? Or here?

And if it’s wandered—no judgment. Just gently bring it back.

What if you said yes to this moment—fully, lovingly, without condition?

Because presence isn’t passive. It’s powerful. And I believe it’s the doorway to everything you’re seeking.

With love and presence,
