Just Be

When was the last time you were truly present? When were you just wherever you were?

 


 

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.

 


 

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?

 


 

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.

 


 

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.

 


 

When we practice mindfulness, we can slow down and be while we do.

 


 

Let's give ourselves, our family, and our friends the present of being present.
