Sometimes it's difficult to get quiet time nowadays. We listen to headphones, send emails, text, surf the web, talk on the phone etc... We never seem to stop and enjoy the silence. I am referring to total silence with no interruptions! I am of the persuasion that the best thoughts and ideas come from the silence. When I think of my own life, I seem to have my most creative thoughts when I have those rare moments of quiet.
That's why I try to spend at least five minutes each night in complete silence. I just try and pay attention to the thoughts running in my own head. I learn a lot about myself doing this. I've discovered that I often think about the same things--family and work. When I get past the first couple minutes of the silence my mind starts to calm down and then ideas seem to come.
I challenge all of us to enjoy the silence in our lives and use it to talk to us.
