In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on ,always conected, always thinking, always talking. There is no
36 for stillness.
And when we are
37 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often
38 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re
39 .
This comes at a
40 : we lose that time for
41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And
42 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crarily, but get
43 done.
Take a moment to think about
44 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering
45 checking on the news and the latest tream of information? Are you always
46 through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your
47 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be
48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.
49 be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d
50 it to be. See your life with less moveanent, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more
51 .
Then be that vision.
It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.
52 you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too
53 . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of
54 for it.
