Focus on a Member Presence

Seb Rolland Presence Presence

Life is the ultimate art form, what do you want to create?

I believe that to be loving is to be present, truly there for
those we love.

Being present and connected can have a huge impact on a
person, indescribably so for the tiny life in your care.
Importantly, it can also be restorative to you.

That said, let's not add to the pressure of being a new
parent: this is not about doing more or trying harder. To be
present is a natural thing for a human to do, something to
relax into. It starts with a single, deep breath. Allow yourself
to relax and gently guide your focus onto the child in front
of you. I like to imagine my focus to be like the sun's rays: it
just shines where I direct it, without needing effort.

Imagine a see-saw: the more you focus on the thoughts
whirling around in your head, the more you'll be tense and
stressed. The more you can relax your focus outwards onto
this moment, the more you automatically create that peace
and presence. No force required.

present to yourself and to your child, you will give yourself
As a coach, I believe in Life as Art: seeing life as a
creative expression of who you are--rather than, say, some much deserved peace while passing on that gift to
as a series of tests of one's worth--stripping away all your child for their life as well.

essence, which is living in possibility.

To do that I work with my clients to move "upstream"
to explore the roots of what creates the obstacles in
their lives for maximum impact.

I believe in the First 60 Days Movement because that
is as upstream as it gets: imbuing our children with the
freedom and resilience I help my clients create for www.sebrolland.com
themselves as adults.
