    What does it mean to be a human being? The mindful answer puts the emphasis on the word ‘being’. We are human beings, but we have forgotten how to be. We have become human doings, trapped in a mode of always doing, acting, achieving and keeping busy. When we stop, even for a moment, it can feel frightening and unnatural. Activity and busyness have become our default mode.

    Mindfulness creates space for ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’
    If you allow time for being, it will help your doing to be more productive
    Set aside time for formal meditation practice – even 5 or 10 minutes a day is a good start
    You can also train yourself to create little spaces, pausing often throughout the day. Use a sound, visual cue or activity as a reminder.
