Discover stillness. It's hard to be still. Hard to slow down enough and settle our thoughts. Our mind is always racing keeping us from the sleep our body craves. But taking the time to be still can recharge our energies for the next hurdle. Sometimes we are so overwhelmed that we don't even know where to begin. Philosopher Lao Tzu taught, "Let it be still, and it will gradually become clear." Take the time to discover stillness in your life. Open the window and listen to the gentle breeze, and the the songs of birds. Slow down and stop trying to fix all your problems at once. Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly. Just this small act may be enough to change your perspective about your circumstances, and allow you to go forward with fresh eyes.
Challenge: Set the timer for 5 minutes. Close your eyes and breathe slowly. Embrace the stillness. Record your observations in your Discovery Journal.
I read your post in the stillness of the evening. Stillness is good.
