At first I didn’t get the difference but once I thought about it for a second it was so clear to me.  Taking a time management class this concept was so important.  In our society we always feel like we have to be doing; rushing to work, being “productive”, doing three things at once.  Even while we sit down to relax and watch tv we are typing on the computer and checking email.  But how many times do we just “be”.  Just sitting, not doing ANYTHING. No facebook, no tv, no knitting, no crossword.  The concept seems ideal yet kind of strange.  “I can’t just sit I need to be doing something”.  But we don’t always have to be doing something.  If we take time to just be once and a while, it can open up so many experiences for us.  Noticing the birds outside, making yourself more available for people in your home to want to be near you, and just to relax and not have to do.  Just understanding the difference can help. We all have to “do” all the time. Thats life.  But when we realize the difference and how beneficial it can be for taking care of ourselves it helps make doing a little more bearable.
