How long have you been busy, rushing around all day? We are always on, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. There is just no 1 for stillness.
And when we are 2 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting for a bus or train, we often 3 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 4 .
This comes at a 5 : we lose time for 6 , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And worse yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 7 done.
Take a moment to think about how you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 8 ?Are you always 9 through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your 10 ? If so, peace is with you. If not, take a moment to be 11 . Then after a minute of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d like it to be. See your life with less movement, more stillness and more 12 .
Then be that vision.
It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is to sit still for a little bit each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 13 . Slow down; find happiness now, at this moment, instead of 14 for it.
15 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.
