I enjoy solitude and stillness.
I pay attention to my thoughts without making judgements. I connect with the divine. I remember my blessings or write a letter to God.
I daydream. I turn my attention inward and indulge my imagination. I increase my self-awareness. I focus on my hopes and dreams. I gain fresh insights and generate new ideas.
I take restorative breaks. I observe nature. I watch squirrels playing and smell cut grass. I stretch my muscles and massage my shoulders. I feel relaxed and energized.
I prepare myself for sleep. I take a warm bath and listen to soft music or falling rain. I sip a cup of chamomile tea.
I go on retreats. I browse online for places to visit or organize my own activities at home.
I work on my hobbies. I paint and sketch. I knit sweaters or assemble jigsaw puzzles. I read novels and science magazines.
I sit in the same room with my partner or a friend. I enjoy their company without having to talk. I feel their presence. We communicate nonverbally.
I disconnect from technology for at least one hour each day. I turn off my phone and computer. I enjoy spending time with myself without distracting images and sounds.
Today, I slow down. I relieve stress and stimulate my creativity by creating more quiet moments in my life.
Self-Reflection Questions:
- What happens when I listen more and talk less?
- What would I do if I scheduled a quiet hour today?
- Where can I go when I want some peace and quiet?
