Time

One of the most valuable gifts we can give ourselves is time with ourselves. In this busy lifestyle and frantic ‘hurry and do more, more, more’ pressure that we get from the constant contact with the world through our electronic devices; time alone in silence is almost non-existent.

We are always and only with ourselves every hour of every day for our entire lives. We hear our inner dialogue all the time, whether we listen or not, it is always there. Are we paying attention? Do we believe what it is telling us about ourselves and the world? Have we ever checked in and actually listened?

I am learning to Stop. Find a quiet spot. Take a few minutes. Listen to what I am saying to myself. Do I like what I hear? I can change it to find a happier, better message to tell myself.
