There’s no need to rush. You have absolute permission to slow down and check your reality. Taking time to go inward helps you process perceptions with a new lens and stay aware of what really matters. This episode talks about going inward, creating stillness, and practicing being so you naturally foster more creativity, bliss, and intelligence.
Personally, I’m committed to establishing a consistent meditation practice, but there are days when it feels like one more task to remember. I trust that the more I practice, the more natural and second nature it will become. The benefits of meditation—like feeling inner peace, alert, rested, energized and connected to what truly matters in each moment—are powerful and worth the investment so I hope you incorporate the practice of being in your life too.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP114’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Mediation gets you into a state of being since it connects to an honest look at your unfiltered inner space. Internally, you sort out the choices and actions that feed how you show up in the world. You can use that time to redefine or reaffirm your inner space.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about committing to a practice of being to make full use of stillness and reflection. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Where in your life do you have a focus on being?
- Do you allow yourself to honor the moment in that space?
- As you meditate, no matter the time length, have you felt a sense of silent, peaceful bliss wash over you?
- What do you think you need for you to release any inner restlessness?
Mediation will inspire more creativity, innovation, and overall well-being. View it as a type of nourishment and self-care as necessary as exercise.
Being is the ultimate way to support your future vision. Live your purpose in a more radiant and fun way with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- What choices no longer feel aligned, and can you let them go?
- Where in your life can you let go so that you can BE more?
- Where in your life do you want to release something that doesn’t serve you to create space for spontaneity?
- How does that allow you to move and show up differently?
