Hello, my name is Danielle and today I'm going to talk about what's the difference between doing versus being? Two words in action doing being what is the difference doing is that really just the act to do something like check a box off the list. Do you ever make it to do this and you're just checking the box? Also known as to me going through emotions. Are you saying that you know like you know something and then it becomes knowledge then it becomes like you understand it and then it becomes your lived-out experience and that's the difference is when you are in the act of doing versus being you are embodying the knowing the understanding in yourselves and you can speak to that and the biggest shift that I notice is people feel the difference.

They may not quite understand it but they feel the difference when you're being say even just love . If you're being love versus just saying I love you if you're embodying the essence the frequency the vibration of love people will feel the shift. Doing versus being also can be more the doing is in head thinking thinking acting out in thoughts versus embodiment of cells from the feet to the legs and hips to the shoulders to the torso to the head the fingers like you're being a lived- out experience very different and sometimes it's hard to even like comprehend I would say the difference between the two and again it also becomes a lived-out experience.

A good thing to step into this first off is like I am being love or I am being joy like trust yourself that you could step into the being of something you want to have happen like a frequency of love of joy of compassion of peace. Same thing as if you're being anger or hate sometimes that might be easier to experience because typically our reptilian brains are triggered to actually think about the negativity and talk about the worst-case scenario. So it actually takes something to be more joy in love like being experienced in the essence of that.

So notice what it feels like if you're say angry or guilt guilt is taking over you blame shame right we get in the practice sometimes by default how to be that those experiences. So my invitation for you is to really look at how can I be in the experience of the opposite of joy a piece of love and have that be a lived-out experience in through something you're doing and if you want to be in that experience through like sharing joy with another person it might start with like yourself and going for a walk like experiencing joy in your being seeing the sun through the leaves or get playing with an animal like how easy is that right to be in the experience of play or be an experience of joy.

So start there start experiencing it and then bring it everywhere else in your life the difference between doing head thinking versus being embodiment experience. Danielle's my name, questions, please let me know.
