Where you are still-in-movement, primed to spontaneously shift, maneuver and adjust. Yet, you are calm. **Anxiousness disrupts and defiles presence. Conscious, directed cultivation of peace decimates anxiety.** Presence leads to refined, smoother processes. **You can model the feeling and sensation of it, as an offering to yourself** as you prepare for the day, greet your team, as you rest, disarm hostilities, initiate collaborative systems, when you connect with family and beloved community. These are all processes. Process is a series of steps and actions done in sequential or unique order, toward your chosen outcome. Process is steeped in belief, expectations and assumptions. It is a subjective realm of practice you design, nurture and destroy. Cyclical, rhythmical and iterative by nature. Just like you! **Process is grounded in decisions. To be fully present – to exude deep presence – is also a decisive act.** Activated presence ensures you are choosing to express – in this moment – from a clear-lit mind, resonant body and a sane, enriched emotional environment. This becomes your root of genuine influence. ······ © 2022 [Dara Songye](https://polywork.com/darasongye) ⋮ Unstruck · The Signal ⋮ [Unstruck Ventures](https://unstruck.ventures) ⋮ Photo · Luca Micheli
