Year of Being

Sit. pause. Listen. Do not act straight away.

Listen to nothing at first.

Feel your breath.

See what you see.

Hear what you hear.

Feel the discomfort in your body.

Feel the comfort in your body.

What is the next most compassionate thing you can do for yourself?

Then do that.

That’s your inner wisdom.

When your nervous system rears up your spinal cord and into your brain flooding it with thoughts of “do now”, sit your ass down and breathe. The doing will get done as long as you keep your integrity intact. And have compassion for when it needs to crumble a bit.

And then, when it’s time to do the dishes, get up and do the fucking dishes.
