Like a duck on water.

Busy?

A manager was telling me about his team and said: 'It's been a busy year."

I asked: do you remember a year where it wasn't busy?

Of course not. 

Consider how many times people ask you if you're busy.

The busier you are... more you need to give your brain a break.

Your brain cannot handle this constant onslaught of information. The more info you pump into your brain, the harder it has to work to process it. 

Like a duck on water.

It's all fine on the surface, even elegant...especially in front of your boss or client. Yet for so many people, it's paddling like crazy under the water.

And this paddling under the surface is the inner world, and it is what we work on in practice.

When you look after your inner world, the outer world looks after itself. 

Not trying to make things happen. 

Unlike exercise where often the more resistance, the more progress, with meditation, we're not trying to make things happen eg. quieting the mind. 

Instead, we cultivate the conditions to allow the changes to happen. 

Is it time for some silence & stillness...or are you too busy?
