Stillness: During the pandemic, there has been an underlying stillness – almost time standing still.
I say this because of the lack of travel, movement, going out, every day was like the one before.
For me, it created a stillness, a quietness; previously my life had been very busy – between work, visiting people, helping people, doing things around the house, helping others do things around their house – it was lively, busy, too busy at times.
These past few years has put me into a bit of a still, quiet, existence – a time of rest. The busyness stopped, slowed down and has given me down time that I had previously never experienced.
I try to put a positive spin on everything, this is no different. This is what I have learned throughout this time in life – taking time to oneself, being restful, relaxing, is a good thing and has taught me how to be better to myself and that I need and deserve complete rest at times. Before, I would have considered this being lazy and would have quickly given myself a task to complete.
I feel like I have been put into a state of rest and relaxation. I have learned how to rest, relax and enjoy the stillness, and the quiet. It took some getting used to, but now I actually really enjoy it now.
I recognize that my life was too busy before and that my body and mind require rest and relaxation.
For me, this has been a good realization and something I will continue to do for myself in the future.
Questions to Ponder:
What is something positive you have learned throughout this past few years?
Have you been able to incorporate it into your life to this day?
Or is it something you need to get back to?
