A couple of my dearest friends and I often explore the idea of just being, living in the moment. I think I have done this successfully for much of my adult life, never planning too far ahead, seizing chances to splash in puddles, walk in the sunshine, do whatever feels right in the moment.
When the youngest of my three children started school (over ten years ago!) I decided that it was time to be more proactive and began a journey to discover who I was and what my role beyond motherhood was.
These days the journey continues, I mix planning, learning, growing and discovering with as much just being as I can manage. During my homeopathy training one of the valuable lessons that I learned was to let go of the end result and enjoy the journey.
I still have to work at letting my mind settle, there is a lot of 'monkey chatter' goes on inside my head (I often think others must be able to hear it, it's so loud sometimes!).
Life isn't a rehearsal, so I feel it's important to enjoy it as much as possible.
