Stillness abounds...if you allow it.

Give yourself the gift of quiet.  Leave the radio off in your car.  Forego the MP3 player on your next walk....and just be.  Allow the sounds of life to come to you.  How many different sounds can you indentify by just standing out side your door?  How many different birds can you hear?  Do you hear planes, cars, kids playing, lawns being mowed? 

We are bombarded by sounds of all kinds from so many different sources throughout the day we don't realize how much that adds to our stress levels.  Feel the difference as you drive with the radio on... then off.  It may take some getting used to being alone with your thoughts, but it is easy to do with a little practice.  And do practice until comfortable with the quiet.  It won't take long and is very rewarding on so many levels.

Then when you choose to add sound to your life, it is a choice, not an automatic reaction.  And you may find that you become more selective on what sounds you do add.  The gift of quiet is a wonderful way to honor yourself and a beautiful, restorative way to begin or end a day.
