Just Be
Â
When was the last time you were truly present? When were you just wherever you were?
Â
Â
It is so easy during this season to get wrapped up in the busyness of holiday events, family gatherings, work responsibilities, academic tasks, and traffic.
Â
Â
We can easily become a "do-er" and just do, do, do. Have you ever driven on the expressway and realized that you drove 5 exits, but don't recall passing by any of them? Do you feel always in a rush? Are you feeling stressed out?
Â
Â
This month, I want to challenge you to develop your being skills. I am going to challenge myself as well and I welcome you to join me.
Â
Â
We can practice mindfulness wherever we are. This is being aware of our surroundings and internal sensations and accepting whatever there is to see, feel, touch, smell, taste, and think.
Â
Â
When we practice mindfulness, we can slow down and be while we do.
Â
Â
Let's give ourselves, our family, and our friends the present of being present.
