Let’s Take a Collective Breath.

No podcast today. I am winging my way to Scottsdale, Arizona this week, to enjoy learning to use horses to facilitate my coaching work. More about that soon. But today is all about being.

The other day, Deepak Chopra told me that all there is in the world is being, feeling, thinking and doing. (Me and thousands of other people in a Tedx Talk… TEDxSanMigueldeAllende.)

As I talk about all the time, thinking, feeling and doing are the guideposts we use to transform our lives. 

Your thoughts create your feelings which create your actions.

It’s how you create the life you want.
It’s how you dissolve negative emotion.
It’s how to get from island a to island b.

It’s the secret to the human condition.

But being…

I haven’t talked too much about being.

I like just being… simply noticing my breath.

Being is what we do more of out in nature.

We are still.

We aren’t trying to accomplish anything or get over anything.

We are not trying to be more or save the world.

Maybe I don’t talk about it because it doesn’t take a lot of instruction.

Being isn’t something I learned and then had a mind-blowing epiphany.

But being is akin to peace. It is a state in integrity with your natural rhythms.

And I apologize for not spending more time talking about being.

Being is the pause between breaths.
And the breaths.

Being is meditation.

Being is noticing smells and beauty and calm.

I do some of my best being at dawn. Dawn is the pause before the day, when the world hasn’t woken up yet.
I am rested and aware, but not jumping into action quite yet.

I plan on giving ‘being’ more attention in my life.

A more cherished place.

I smile just thinking about spending more time simply being.

And the epiphanies come, just at a different pace.
