Slow Living

The other day my husband asked, “What do we have this weekend?”

My response, “Nothing, we have nothing planned for several weekends in a row.”

Some internal responses to reading we have nothing planned:

“I wish I had open weekends.”

“My schedule hasn’t been open for a decade.”

“I’m always busy.”

Fighting the urge to do, do, do and fill our schedules to the brim with activities is extremely difficult.

We live in a society that encourages being worn out, over booked, and lacking sleep.

We are told the fuller your schedule, the higher your worth. This is an idea I disagree with wholeheartedly.

Your worth doesn’t come from doing, your worth comes from being.

You are a human being, not a human doing.

Be present.

Be here.

Be now.

Just be.

Be. TANCKS for reading!
