The Well
How often do you go to the well? It will determine how much well being you experience.
Too often we go to the depth of conditioned reaction. That’s shallow. Going to the well is going deep and it doesn’t take a trip to the Himalayas or even a 15-minute meditation to get there.
Going to the well takes just a moment of noticing. Notice yourself about to give a conditioned reaction to a stimulus and don’t give it. Wait for a deeper response before you respond.
We are so conditioned to react that we forget that we have the ability to respond. Waiting for a response will take you deeper and add depth to your answer.
When your response comes from a place of depth, it’s authentic and here’s the bonus: Notice how much better you feel when offering something real.
Well being is a by-product of going to the well. It has you sidestep the role you play and adds authenticity to your day.
We’re not going to remember to do this all the time but when we do, we become refreshed from our depth. Remember to take a pause from time to time and drink from the well; it can be the difference between heaven and hell.
All the best,
John
