When “Doing” Isn’t Working

We tend to go through life doing, doing, doing. We go to work, we run errands, we host holiday parties, we do house work and yard work. We do so much that who we are ends up becoming what we do in our minds. If I were to ask you who you are, you would most likely answer that you are a mother, a husband, a sales associate, etc. But that is not who you are! That is what you do. Those are only roles that you play.

Learn to be more focused on being instead of doing. We do do, do but we forget to be. I find that even when we read self-help books and listen to motivational CD’s, we read and we listen, but we don’t really experience them for ourselves. We don’t give them time to become part of us before moving onto the next thing.

When you focus on being, you will see life from an entirely new perspective. You will view life through the eyes of your soul, not just through your personality. Suddenly, the world become a different place. You are no longer wrapped up in the illusion constructed by the egoic mind, but are instead awakened and experiencing the beauty of life. Things will flow easier for you because you will be more in touch with your true self, since being naturally draws out your soul identity instead of your ego identity.

Focus on doing tasks with more mindfulness. We can’t get away from the many things we have to do, but we can change the way we do them. Add more “being” into them and life becomes more enjoyable.

Also learn to think of yourself in terms of who you really are, not what you do. Your soul will thank you for it!

Bringing Mind, Body & Soul Into Balance

Are you suffering from overwhelm and feeling out of balance? In this era that we live in, there is no time to slow down. We are consumed with work and when we aren’t working at our jobs, there are always chores and errands to be done. How in the world can we achieve balance in this crazy life?

Let’s look at balancing your mind, body and soul so that you can lead a more holistically balanced life. When we live from this state of wholeness, we live from our purpose, learn to access our personal power, and create and achieve goals that are in alignment with who we are. From that place, we will feel at peace with our complete being.

Right now, what part of your being are you hanging out to dry? Are you using your mind too much and not taking enough time to nurture and develop your body and soul, for example? Choose three things that you can do to nurture your mind, body and soul this week (one thing you can do for your mind, one for your body and one for your soul). Take baby steps. Too often, when we do strive to balance out our life, we make our lives more complicated by adding too much to our already busy schedules. Then we fall back into our old patterns because we overwhelm ourselves even more than normal. Keep it simple.

Let’s look at your body: Can you make a promise to yourself that you will get 8 hours of sleep each night this week? Or maybe you’d like to focus on eating healthy and natural foods. Maybe you’d like to commit to exercising 3 times this week. Choose one thing to change, and as you do it, instead of thinking about what you “should” be doing, or what you’d rather do, focus on the fact that you are giving your body a gift, that you are finally caring for your body which does so much for you everyday. Give your body thanks for all of the hard work it endures.

Let’s look now at your soul: Maybe you’d like to explore ways that you can be true to your authentic self this week. Or you could focus on enlisting your five senses in everything you do so that you experience everything more fully. Maybe you want to read a spiritual book or listen to some music that brings you closer to your soul. You might even like to meet up with your soul in meditation.

How about your mind: Can you commit to changing your negative self-talk into positive self-talk this week? Maybe you want to focus on using the law of attraction to your advantage? Would you like to write a list of life goals? Maybe you have been putting off learning a new skill. You could take some time this week to study that skill.

Make some small steps each week to bring you closer to your whole self. When you do, you will feel uplifted and alive! Even if you can only do one thing, do that at least and continue to do so each week.
