The Right Questions

Why Is It So Hard To Just… Be?


Listen Later

We know you’re bombarded with messages reminding you to ‘be in the moment.’ We also know that it’s a lot easier said than done! In our hyper-connected and fast-paced world, many of us are operating on auto-pilot and running on fumes… feeling the need to constantly do, do, do, and then ‘do’ more, with no time left to just… ‘be.’ You know, to just ‘be’ with your partner, your kids, your pets, your food, your hike, your work, your hobbies, even… yourself! This exhausting rhythm isn't sustainable in the long run, and you know it! 


Today’s episode invites you to intentionally carve out the time and space necessary for you to unplug, recharge, and gain some perspective on what’s most important. In other words, making time to reconnect with ‘being!’ Join Todd and Bridget as they talk about their own struggles with doing vs. being and the lessons they’ve learned over the years about how to find balance in this tension. They also offer some helpful, concrete tips on how you can integrate mindful practices into your daily routine.
