are you going without?

​Are you busy rushing around trying to meet the demands of employers, spouse and family? Are you so tired at the end of the day that you don't even know who you are anymore? These are all symptoms of a busy life based on what we perceive we "must" or "need" to do. In actual fact, you don't need to "do" anything. You have defied the odds even just being born into this world and there is no need to do anything except love yourself and others.
Now, this doesn't mean I abdicate sitting around on the couch eating chips and watching Netflix all day (unless they were spiritual shows. Just kidding!), but the point here is that instead of always doing, doing, doing, which pretty much assures you that you'll always have lack in your life, try taking a few minutes out to just sit quietly and just "be". Take in a few deep breaths and allow your mind to slow down (I know this is hard at first!) and try not to think of anything in particular. If you have trouble doing that, Take a walk in the park or with nature, leaving your phone at home (or silence it), and just enjoy watching a few animals, trees or plants existing with each other. See how they interact. Are the plants and trees hurrying around? No, because they know tomorrow will be another day and they accept that.
Now, return to your day with a renewed sense of, yes I have to get things done today, but if I don't get it all done, if I don't satisfy everyone else's needs, I will live to see the sunrise and tomorrow will be another day. If you don't take time to go within, you will be going without. Simple as that.
