Balance or the Constant Search for it
As a working mom of 3 young adults, running 2 businesses, working long hours, with a desire to continuously grow and educate myself, a purpose to empower, encourage and support others, it is a constant search for balance between the ambition to achieve something worthy in life and taking the time for self-care.
Every time we take some time for ourselves to meditate, read, write, relax or be still, a voice in our head pops up saying “Shouldn’t I be DOING something more useful?”.
We live in a world where we are only validated for what we DO and HAVE instead of who we ARE.
It is in the Being that lies the key to fulfilment however.
In taking the time to be still, to pray, to meditate, to quiet the mind and listen to our Soul, we can connect with that part in us which is naturally wise, calm and centred.
Those still moments are precious and sacred, in those moments our inspiration is welling up.
It is a challenge to find that balance and not fall in the trap of ‘never enough’. I strongly believe that the discipline of setting time aside to meditate, pray and reflect is so beneficial and required for a healthy and fulfilled life.
So today I invite you to DO LESS and BE MORE.
Much love,
Barbara.
