We spend a lot of time focusing on what is happening “out there” and doing all the things. We ignore opportunities to slow down and sit in our own stuff. In this conversation, we will talk about what is getting in the way of enjoying the practice of “being” before we “do”. Sponsored by Bloomerang ®
