Human Being vs Human Doing

Human Being vs Human Doing

Monday is a great day to check in with what you are up to this week.

You probably already have an overwhelming (ambitious?) list of things you want to accomplish.

What we do on a day-to-day basis has become the front and center of our existence:

  • How many calls can I make in one day?
  • Will I be able to address all the emails coming my way before I close my computer? (well, if I ever even close it)
  • What deals can I close today?
  • How many steps can I get in? Will all my apple watch rings be completed?

This goes on and on and on.

We truly became a society of human doings. We focus on performance, accomplishments, deliverables.

We do it so much that at times we lose sense of who we are BEING.

Do you know who you are outside of labels like manager, wife, brother, lab rat?

I invite you to spend a few minutes and maybe even journal:

  1. Who are you at your core?
  2. What do you bring to the room outside of your degrees, skills, certifications, results?
  3. How can you leverage your qualities, your uniqueness in your doing? Are you in the right action? Are you chasing the right dream?

Finally, notice the world around you even it is just for a brief moment in the middle of the day looking outside of your window and enjoying a colorful seasonal day and appreciating the here and the now.
