Stillness: In the last two years, 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, this 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 two 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 two years?
