being vs doing

BEING vs. DOING

Overhearing a conversation in the coffee shop this morning, I was reminded of the difference between being versus doing.

We DO every day. When we're stuck in our to do lists or running around. When we're in our heads thinking. This is society's default - to do more, go more, hustle more.

But how often are we BEING? How often are we noticing the sunshine? Making eye contact with others? Truly listening to our surroundings? Taking notice of how our body feels?

As these friends debated how we can BE more and let go of the hustle, I was reminded that we can choose to make a change even in this moment.

So right now, what does the phone feel like in your hand? How do your feet feel on the ground? What is it like to see your surroundings? Can you feel your heartbeat?

It's in these tiny moments that we can truly BE.
