However, we must remain vigilant about the company we keep, ensuring alignment with our values and integrity. Extensive research confirms that we adopt similar behaviors to those we surround ourselves with, emphasizing the impact of our relationships.

Striving Toward Non-Striving with Mindfulness and Awareness
How do we know when to act and when to let go? When to push for something, whether it’s toward a goal, an achievement, an aspiration, and when to relax and find ease? As humans we are conditioned to stay busy. When we are not doing anything we feel like we are wasting a day. For example, we work so hard to be able to go on vacation and take mental breaks, yet as quickly as we get time away, we feel guilty or uncomfortable doing nothing. When we are not moving, are minds are busier than ever searching for what we could do to feel “productive.” How do we know when to move and when to just be? Mindfulness training and awareness are the keys to finding balance between striving and non-striving.
