Long Before

(you go mad!)

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
"Calm"

“Sometimes

you just need to disconnect

and

enjoy your own company"

We Live in a world

which is now completely

‘connected’.

Instead of going out

to the shop for a newspaper,

we just turn on the TV

and watch the news on the screen

in front of us.

Our Lives

are constantly

‘connected’

by the internet.

This is a Good thing

because it keeps us safe

and

in contact with the world we Live in.

But sometimes,

it can all get

‘too noisy’ and ‘too much’.

Turn it off,

and sit quietly,

and ‘listen’ to the

‘silence’.

Our Mental Health

needs

to come before anything

because

our Minds ‘Control’ us,

Emotionally and Physically.

We want Good Health

and

looking after our Minds

will do this.

It’s human nature

to need Peace and Quiet

and we need to ‘Listen’ to this.

5 or 10 minutes,

every single day,

of Quiet Meditation

will Help us

to Balance our Minds,

setting us up

for a Positive and Strong day.

And don’t be afraid

to have your own company,

to be alone —

you are looking after your Mental Health.

A walk in the park,

during the day,

can do ‘Wonders’ for our souls.

The fresh air is Healthy

and the sounds and sights

are Natural.

Afterall,

Nature came a long time before the internet did.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
