Stillness as a Strategy

No one knows us better than ourselves.

But the problem is sometimes it is hard to hear our own voice amongst the busyness of our lives.

Nearly all of us have commitments, relationships, family, friends and coworkers and from dawn to dusk we are bombarded with information through a wide variety of media, environmental stimulation and communication.

Not only that much of our day is filled with activity that places demands on time and where we focus our attention.

How can you know how you are even feeling unless you step out of that space and focus on yourself?

This is why stillness is so powerful.

By setting some time aside each day just for you, you can shut out all the noise, all the projects, all the responsibility and just settle and check in with the most important person in your world. Which is... you.

Only through giving time to ourselves to listen can we truly know how we feel.

It is through those feelings we can identify what is truly going on in our minds. What we like and don't like.

What thoughts are truly our own, rather than being projected on us, by someone just wanting us to act and behave in a certain way.

Taking time to listen and understand yourself is the first step in understanding who you truly are and what you want.
