One of our biggest challenges we face living in a fast-paced world is becoming distracted, enticed and seduced with the idea that “more’’ is better. We are often asked to do more with less, multi task and try to pack in more that we can possibly do or sustain. We are human beings that have forgotten how to “be” as we busy ourselves “doing and producing” to keep things a float and make it all happen. We are a society that needs to learn how to slow down and release the chaotic stress state we’ve gotten ourselves into and learn to unwind. Practicing and embracing the present moment, engaging in the here and now helps slow us down and connect to ourselves, others and the situation in a grounded and calm way so we can take inventory and recharge our batteries…creating a little piece of heaven here on earth.
