Give yourself the Chance…

I’m no where close to doing this naturally, but I am trying to keep remembering to “give myself the chance…”

My normal reactive pattern is to do more, try harder and perform better for the people around me; but I rarely give myself the chance to sit still.

I want to sit still… not go faster,
I want to listen.. not speak loudly,
I want to walk… not run,
I want to rest… not deplete myself,
I want to experience… not just go through the motions.

Being still and caring for the self is where the magic happens. So…

“Give yourself the chance to sit still, listen, walk, rest & experience.”
