Intentional Effortlessness

While advising a graduate student today, I was challenged to define what it is to simply be. I described it as existing with intentional effortlessness. To me, the intention is fulfillment without an agenda.

Here are some examples:

  • snuggle with an animal

  • lay on the couch

  • read a book

  • sit in the bath

  • watch a documentary

  • take a walk

  • go for a run

  • sit under a tree

  • write or talk about your thoughts

  • meditate

  • pray

  • breathe

  • dance

  • sing

Look for simple things and be.
