DO THIS, DO THAT, TRY HARDER, GET SERIOUS, SET HIGHER GOALS

...do any of these sound familiar?  

Of course it's important to strive for success, and to capitalize on your strengths, but sometimes we are pushed too hard and the success comes at the expense of our emotional wellness.

So what do you do when the pressure gets to be too much and you feel you can't DO another thing?

Just Be.

Being means to stop doing, and just sit still.  Don't try.  Just allow things to go forward at their own pace.  Ironically, this moment of breathing or relaxing is often all we need to lift out of our "frozen state" and start moving again.

How to "be?"

Try walking around the block or campus and noticing how the air smells.  Try closing your eyes and imagining yourself on the beach in Hawaii with the waves lapping at the shore.  Try sitting still on the floor and letting your mind go blank.  Or, you could even try closing your eyes and smiling (this is my FAVORITE).

Whatever your choice for being, the main thing is to STOP what you are DOING and just enjoy being alive for one moment.
