Be - just be

Don't do you; be you.

Let your personality surface. Take time and daydream or journal about the times when you've been happy, inspired or nervous. Chances are high that when you were in that space (yesterday or months/years ago?) you were not thinking about what you were doing...you were just being yourself.

I remember a time I put a collage together of anything I thought was "me." I spent days going through magazines, surfing the net, and drawing small pictures that I could incorporate into "Jason - explained."

Of course, each individual picture or quote had an action embedded in it; but, what I walked away with at the end was a visual represention of what I was, what I am, and what I hope to be. As a kinesthetic-visual-auditory learner, it's a great way to experience what I want to experience mentally, preparing for it to happen physically.

Jason: I love the idea of a collage that connects with who you "BE." It's a DOING activity that by its very nature gets you beyond the DOING. I wrote a post on my blog a while back about the distinction between magnetic energy, which is traditionally considered more feminine, and dynamic energy, which is traditionally considered more masculine. Magnetic might be more the "being" and dynamic more the "doing." All we might want to consider is getting a better balance between the two.

You can check out my blog at http://youalreadyknowthisstuff.blogspot.com. The post was called "Are Level 5 Leaders Magnetic?"

Thanks for the reminder to JUST BE IT!
