What’s Taking Up Bandwidth?

Affirmation -  Presence is my power source


Lately, I’ve been asking myself—what’s taking up bandwidth? Not just time or attention, but the deeper current of energy that fuels how I show up in the world.

Is it overthinking?

Future thinking?

Emotional labour?

Energetic dependence?

It’s astonishing how easily the mind slips—into the future, into the past, into loops of what-ifs and should-haves. We rehearse conversations that haven’t happened, replay ones that already did. We try to solve what isn’t ours to hold. And in doing so, we abandon the only place where life is actually happening: here.

Now.

Presence isn’t passive. It’s a practice. A training. A remembering. I have to remind myself—daily, hourly sometimes—to return. To breathe. To feel my feet on the ground. To notice what’s in front of me, not what’s behind or ahead.

Because the energy of presence is powerful. It’s what allows us to make decisions that are rooted—not reactive. It’s what helps us choose from clarity, not fear. And in a world that often rewards speed and certainty, choosing from the now is a radical act of trust.

So I ask again:

What’s taking up bandwidth?

And what might shift if I reclaimed it—not by doing more, but by being here?
