Quieten Down

"The answers you seek

never come

when the mind is busy,

they come

when the mind is still".

Sit down,

in a quiet room,

and just listen.

What do you hear?

Your breathing maybe.

The birds singing outdoors possibly.

Can you hear your mind?

We live such busy lives

that it is easy to forget

that our minds have something to say.

How can we solve a problem,

or think it through,

if we don't listen to our minds?

This means taking time out of our day

for ourselves

and being quiet for a little while.

The 'problem' may seem a big one

that needs thinking through,

something you cannot do on the train on the way to work.

You must sit quietly,

taking the time

to work out the best solution to the 'problem' ---

and the best solution for YOU.

The quiet time

will also give your mind

the Peace it needs

after a very busy and hard and noisy day.

This is good for your mental health too.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
