So often our lives are spent looking forward. 🌪️
We look to the next thing,💥
The next commitment,
The next thing we are required to do,💥
The next goal.
There are whole industries built on working towards goals and achieving more more and more.📈🏦
Can we balance this with resting in presence?🌤️
Just being in this moment without needing to change it.
Allowing ourselves to fully embrace now.🪷
It’s not as easy as it sounds, there is often a deep conditioning in us that makes doing nothing being lazy.
Not looking forward is being a failure, not being our best.
Not having goals means we will be poor, useless, disliked, unhealthy, unsuccessful etc.
What if letting go meant being free 🕊️
What if letting go meant allowing our true nature 🌸
What if letting go meant breaking the chains of fear ⛓️💥
I get caught in the hustle, it’s too easy. It feeds into my fear, do more, be more, have more, don’t stop. With kids, work, home, responsibilities it’s too easy.📋
This is why it’s important to have intentional practices that slow us down. 🧘♂️
Every day having rituals of reminder.
We are human beings - remember to be, to reflect to take time to settle.
That’s not time on your phone, watching tv or YouTube, it’s not playing games or tracking every effort. These things activate us just as much.
Time for rest, for sleep, gentle movement, breathing exercises, body connection, walking in nature, listening to the birds, meditate. Stillness and silence.
Where does the balance sit with you? I’m still working on it, still overcoming decades of hustle. But man it feels good when my nervous system is settled, when I’m calm, present and fully being.
