Just Be...

When was the last time you took a second to stop and think about what you are actually doing?

When was the last time you weren’t checking the clock to make sure you were on time?

When was the last time you you didn’t have a schedule to stick to or the next 3 steps of your day planned out?

We are all guilty of this and in this fast paced world we live in it’s almost impossible not to be moving at lightning speed. This is why we enjoy holidays so much, there is no schedule, no alarm clocks, no strategically planned timetable of activities that would put the military to shame (shout out to all you parents juggling multi-kid, after school activities, I don’t know how you do it!).

So let me introduce you to a new way of thinking (this has been around for centuries but it might be new to you today.)

Just Be.

That’s it. You don’t have anything else to do. It’s a concept called mindfulness and is akin to meditation. It’s just a method of being fully present and aware of what you are doing.

Any time you are stressed to breaking point or just caught up with a busy day repeat this saying to yourself:

‘Don’t judge the past. Don’t anticipate the future. Just Be’

We have become a nation of ‘human doings’ instead of ‘human beings' and it's time for us to start living in the present.

So take the first step today. Focus on just being you. It’s the simplest, most innate quality you possess. So reconnect with it. It could quite possible change your life.
