If you just had a whirlwind of a Summer like I did, you would probably do well to settle down for a moment and take some deep conscious breaths. In as little as a few seconds, you'll feel calmer and more centered naturally.  See what my friends are doing at the Energy of Breath Institute.

 

Because we live in a society that favors instant gratification and a quicker-is-better mentality, the tendency is often to to plow right along into the next project, obligation or commitment with out even stopping to consider our feelings or choices in the matter.

 

When our attention is relentlessly fixed on a future outcome, not only do we miss the beauty of the present moment, but we end up feeling exhausted by the trip before we arrive at the destination. 

If you find yourself caught up in this kind of cycle, it may seem like you never have enough time or energy to do the joyful things in life. Even your fun stuff gets scheduled in, thus reducing it to one more item on your to-do list.   

 

A wonderful wise teacher recently pointed out that we are human BEings, not human DOings.

 

So let's forget about just do it. Wouldn't it be something if we gave ourselves permission to just be it without any guilt, shame or expectations? 

  

This is often easier said than done, so I invite you to contact me if you need any help at all along your journey.

 

In Joy!
