The Balance

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~Lao Tzu

Learning to balance between being and doing can be mystifying  in our culture that associates so much worth with action.  Allowing time to simply inhabit your body and to be still is the perfect response to action.  Your everyday experience warrants a place for both.

When you have moments of downtime or you find yourself waiting for an appointment or readying for sleep, consider taking a moment to check in and notice how you feel, where your thoughts are focused, and remember to allow everything inside and outside of you to be at ease.

Give yourself permission to just be and look for  peace in this.  Doing is only a piece of the puzzle, not the entire picture.  Contentment is a worthy friend of satisfaction and deserves your company too.
