I feel it. I get it....I feel like I'm always busy doing...or if I'm not- I'm thinking of stuff I have to "DO"....freaking "to do" lists....they can run on forever...
but what about just being...
like...that's all you do for a bit. Just 'be'....be a human being...not a human doing.
just sit and be.....or sit and listen to music....and do nothing.
but what if you can BE and DO at the same time? what does that category look like? I like to feel that I'm making this happen...
that I can find a thing that I can do....and then just sink it in and just be...and maybe that is a little pocket of peace...and the perfect efficiency...the duality of being and doing.
for example....painting....painting to produce beauty....and 'do' that....but....also, just simply "be" in it.
or just
cuddling kids...and doing the most important parent things....but just 'being' with them....without a specific "doing" thing that we need to get done.
and...
to just be.
not the best example...but I think you get what I'm getting at...I think there is a beautiful way of being and doing...
and that looks like completely doing what aligns with your being.
too much doing....doing without alignment and doing without purpose....and doing what other people expect of you.....so much doing....is exhausting.
recharging comes from being....and being completely surrounded by love.
You can have love...you can be in love...you can be drenched and soaking in love....you can feel love all around you....
without it coming from...without it being dependent upon another human being.
which is another story all together.
but when we are still...and just 'be'....we can become introspective and feel. Feel around and figure out what it is we want....
not what we want to DO....sitting still and thinking about all the shit you have to DO is not getting in touch with what you really want to hear about yourself. it isn't about "DO" ....what do we want to BE
being aligned with what we want to BE, authentically.....brings about a holistic change...a change in thoughts...and words....language...and action....
happiness doesn't have to be a fleeting emotion reactive to something that happened in a flash of a moment that provided input to your brain to be happy about something....
happiness can be a real presence...it can be the way your default setting is....
it can be your warm blanket that you feel nestled in when the world is a crazy place....you have your happiness with you....
your being...your hoping....your embracing.....your grace....your love.
and then....
be
that.
and your world will start to align to that.....and then the mindful doing will follow.
I've been listening to and reading a cool therapists blog....and he mentions that- you need to know where you want to go.....where do you want to go? what does that look like?
you have to know what you want....to know how to get there.
and a great way to visualize what you want...and what it looks like...is to just sit...and 'be'.....BE.
be love
be happy
be whole
be authentic
be honest
be quiet
and then.....have focus and speed and make it happen. go after it.
go get it.
get after it.....in a place of grace, love, commitment and foundation....
love is always the answer.
peace and love....
