What a great post for Black Friday! Emotionsoflife2016 certainly got me thinking!
Just take a moment to consider…are you a ‘DOer’ or do you try to simply ‘BE‘?
I think it’s not easy to simply ‘BE‘ I think DOing can be easier. Would you agree?
I think we often busy ourselves ‘DOing’ things to avoid ‘BEing’ there for ourselves or others. Have you ever made yourself busy ‘DOing to avoid thinking about the challenges or issues you have faced? Well I certainly have!
Maybe the BEST BLACK FRIDAY commodity we could invest in is…
Taking time to ‘BE‘…
BE ourselves; BE gentle and kind to ourselves and others,
BE truely present; BE in the moment with ourselves and with others, giving of our undivided attention,
BE kind; think before we speak, say a kind word and avoid words that restrain or disempower ourselves or others,
- then our ‘DOing’ will truly ‘BE‘ special, empowering and transformative!
SPEND TODAY WISELY!
I would love you to stop in and share your thoughts with me. I guarantee a warm Irish welcome!
