I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Yin and Yang of life. How do you balance the need to take action and make things happen with the need to allow them to happen? I believe that in our society, more people need to move towards allowing than towards doing more. We are a community of doers. We judge ourselves on our accomplishments. True, there are many couch potatoes in our world, but, I believe they are that because they have been so busy doing and are looking for a way out and don’t know any other.
I’ve been meditating since I was about 12-13 and so, yes, I am an advocate of meditation. But lately, I’m even more an advocate of simple stop and reflect and check your guts type of living. I find the days I ask myself after each activity, okay — what’s next? I find myself being led to actually DO more and feel more relaxed. Some days I even tell myself I don’t have to work today – and then ask – what do you want to do next? More often than not, I accomplish more on those days then when I have a long checklist and plan. The reflection continues. I’m sure you’ll be hearing more from me on this topic.
In the meantime, I’d love to know what YOU think about this?
