Balance of doing and being

2-hour online course

Our lives can easily become unbalanced. Sometimes all it takes for our mind to lose its balance is a single, disruptive impulse. In this interactive Well-being workshop, you will learn helpful tools to navigate between the mode of doing and the mode of being. When the mind is stuck in the mode of driven doing, we lose awareness, choice and creativity. The mind and brain are focused on survival. How can we recognize that we are in the mode of driven doing and free ourselves from this mode with ease?

Learning content:

  • Meaning and distinction between the doing and being mode

  • Learn how the different modes manifest themselves in the mind and on a physical level

  • Recognize inner drivers and understand how I can defuse them

  • Recognizing how I move from having to to allowing

  • Recognize energy-sapping and often unproductive, driven activities early on and be able to break free from them

  • Learn tools to navigate between the doing mode and the being mode

  • Learning how to anchor myself in the nourishing mode of being

  • Recognize how I can also do things with more ease and presence in everyday life from being mode

  • Learning how to create a to-be list.
