Silence

Most of the topics we talked about over the past month have been very active ways of starting the change in your life to a more joyful/positive life.  I've always considered myself a person of action so that's the easiest way for me to start. But there's another very important tool to remember and that is silence!  Just being quiet, clearing your mind & listening to your soul is a great way to center yourself and remove all the noise around you.

I have never been into meditation, I know it works wonders for some people, but I haven't found a practice that works for me.  I instead just be quiet, one of my favorite places to be quiet is in the Smokey's.  Heidi and I try to go down there as often as we can & I love to sit out on a trail or just on the deck where we're staying and just take in the beauty around me.  When I'm not there I envision being there when I take time for my quiet moments, because for me beauty and quiet just fills me up.

The reason why silence is important is because it slows us down and helps us to refocus our energy.  Life is lived in the pauses; it's the pauses that give life more definition.  Like the pauses between notes of music.  Without the pauses all we are action and movement.  Life is made up of opposites without the bad we wouldn't know the good.  I feel this is especially true with silence.

We all live such busy lives and it's hard to take time for yourself but as with morning gratefuls and your vision board please take time to just be silent.  The peace you find in the quiet will lead forward to a more joyful/positive life.

Till tomorrow,

Bill
