"I really felt what the possibility could be if the mind were empty from future considerations."

Letter to my coach:
Yesterday we had a meeting, I realized that my head was ‘full of future considerations’, even while I was speaking to you.

My fears and tensions emerged from that: Thinking about how it was going to be, thinking about how to get it done, trying to feel how it would feel, trying to close the gap between now and how I want it to be, trying to create solutions for ‘if it’s going to grow too big, trying to create the construction, so it is functional even when it is big later (big as in a lot of people use my product),… and on and on. Resulting in me feeling uncomfortable, speeding thoughts, fears coming up, and stress building up. Ok, not connecting my stress to my kids or my partner is an exercise I can handle, but that doesn’t solve the background tensions and fears about my near and far away future performances. I even do it while doing yoga or freediving underwater: my mind wanders off, and my bodily sensations even trigger future considerations like ‘ok, here is the end of my breath hold, know the end is coming, how much more do I need to practice, …’

Then it struck me; the word is ‘empty focus. EMPTY because there is no thought, no action in my mind, no connection with future considerations whatsoever.

FOCUS because it’s an exercise in focusing. It’s an exercise to catch the consideration and thoughts about the future before they take solid form in my head and jumpstart a chemical train in my body. The mind (and so the body) becomes completely available for what you are doing right now. Without fear, stress, pulling, and pushing.

Pure joy in what you are doing now. Being completely available means more time, more possibility, and more joy. But I’m careful: this previous sentence has the potential of building immediate future considerations like: do I have enough joy? What does it feel like? Hmm, is this more performance? What would it look like when I keep doing this for an hour…

It is going to be an exercise to ‘be with what I’m doing at the moment. Not letting thoughts, ideas, and future ‘considerations’ run the ‘inner chemical show.’

The word FOCUS got a completely different meaning yesterday. I really felt what the possibility could be if the mind were empty from future considerations.

So now I make a choice: am I going to think about the future right now, or am I going to do what I’m doing right now fully? I’m I going to dive in full empty focus, or I’m I spending this time thinking about a plan? Do you know what the beauty of it all is? It doesn’t matter what you do. Even thinking about the future with ‘empty focus’ becomes valuable time spent!

Thank you for your time! (Written with a full empty focused mind)
Need to try this underwater now.

"The seed of this deep knowledge and its validity for every single moment in every single life can never be unplanted."

I absolutely loved working with Moritz. With his unique alertness, openness, and wisdom he held the space for me every single session, so I could find to my own clarity, insight, and health realization. My approach to my own thinking has changed a lot since we have worked together.
And therefore, my backpack has just become a lot lighter.

I will forever be grateful to him for introducing the 3 principles to me. The seed of this deep knowledge and its validity for every single moment in every single life can never be unplanted.

"A fantastic opportunity to learn from everyone in the room and take time to slow down to focus on what’s most important to me moving forward."

It’s been a few months since the Being Business Program finished and in hindsight, that was the best business program I’ve invested in.

Not only I’ve achieved most of my goals for the 4 months of the program, but I also had the chance to meet other incredible people with whom I’ve been in touch ever since.  

To me, the program was a business incubator, helping me focus on what I wanted to create by covering so many angles, from business strategies to mindset, integrity, responsibility and action-taking, whilst never losing the fact that we were there also to enjoy what we do.

Besides the high-quality masterclasses, the week-long retreat in Italy was the peak of this program. A fantastic opportunity to learn from everyone in the room and take time to slow down to focus on what’s most important to me moving forward.

My biggest takeaway for that week was to give myself permission to be unapologetically me, which impacted how I showed up in my business in the most positive way.
