Let’s face it, we are all experts at doing. So no need to chat about that.
However, finding balance between being and doing, action and non-action, unconscious and conscious awareness is another thing altogether.
Most of us have learned about balance from doing too much. The first time we crash and burn we say, ‘Note to self’…”Must slow down, do less and rest more!” But we forget where we put that memo, and so, we begin the crazy 8 of doing, then crashing, then doing, and then physically being stopped by sickness, chronic illness or just sheer exhaustion and doing again.
But….this formula gets a little repetitive after awhile don’t you think? and is very hard on our bodies.
So what’s the secret? For me it’s just a practice of being. Over many years, and still learning, I’ve finally realised its the practice of being that allows me to see when to do …and when to be. When to take action and when to surrender.
I can’t see it when I’m only doing. It’s not possible. So I have to practice being. A daily discipline!
Being is a set time in stillness, and silence every day. Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer.
When I’m in this space, my life feels like it flows rather than pushing uphill. In this space, I learn to feel and understand the true meaning of balance.
LIVING IN THIS MOMENT 
It is a beautiful place to be that balance, being creative instead of reacting. In the first you have control…by letting it all go. The second gives you no respite…while trying to juggle it all ❤️
Great post dear lady, created beautifully ❤️
It is a beautiful space to see life with clarity and vision. Thanks Mark 😀
Being is a set time in stillness. Yes.
Yes. 🙏🏻
This was very profound, Karen and a balance is so required in all our lives otherwise we cannot perform our day to day activities. Too good.
Yes I agree. Thanks Kamal 💚💕🙏🏻
Welcome Karen.
Wonderful message, Karen. Certainly apropos of the Libra season, too. 🙏🏻💕
Yes perfect for Libra season! It’s all a balancing act Carrie 👏💚
Great post Karen. It is so important to learn just to be. Not always easy, but very healthy for our life.
Definitely not easy Irene! But so good for us 💚💕
Discipline is something we must learn and embrace… not sure why I wander off so often! 😉
Well I would say it’s because of that beautiful garden of Eden you live in Eliza 🍀☘🌸🌺🌸
Perhaps! 😉
So true Karen.
It is thanks Michele 💕💚
Me, too. By making space for stillness and silence, life indeed flows.It’s an ongoing practice…Thanks for voicing this, Karen.
