Pure bliss
The task of being silent can sometimes be hard but while silence allows for a slowing down, it can also be active - active silence. Watering or repotting a plant, a walk or a run outdoors, or picking up the camera and taking photos or painting a picture— all can be done as an active silence. Find your active silence today in expectation to bring peace, contentment, and quiet to your soul.
Risk and reward
Explore ‘letting go’ today. What are you holding on to that if you let it go the fear of the unknown grips you? Let go anyway. It is the not knowing that is risky and keeps us where we are. Today, let your silence be the reward by allowing yourself the freedom to move, to explore, to be, to embrace, to climb, to inspire, or simply help— and express thankfulness.
A room with a view
Think of the last time you were in a room or location where the view was spectacular. Where were you? In a large city with beautiful buildings, movement and lights? By the ocean where you can see and hear the waves crashing to the shore? Or were you in a mountain village enjoying the mountains with the clouds seemingly resting on its peaks? How can we use the memory of those moments to ignite and inspire us in our activities today? Perhaps in our silence today we can find a location that provides us with a view that opens our hearts and minds.
Meditation and mindfulness
In your reflection today, express gratitude for the blue in the sky, the yellow in the sun, the coolness of the breeze. Consider the quiet of the room you are in and be thankful. Expect the best of your time and efforts today.
