The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind. ~ Albert Einstein
It is unlikely that we currently call our lives quiet. Perhaps one day. Right now, we are busy people who like to get things done – and done well! Tackling day to day challenges usually involves intense levels of communicating, learning, teaching, and sharing information, most of which is LOUD.
How do we find a way to quiet ourselves in order to improve our thoughtfulness and creativity? Something as simple as still water is enough to make us want to whisper – to hush ourselves in order to be one with the water. If we can’t actually be near water, we can access those sounds anytime with our phones or computers. Google “still water sounds” and see how many options surface!
Take 5 minutes to listen and to calm yourself. It really is amazing to witness how the body reacts to the sound of peaceful water. The world is not going to stop. No one is going to carve out time for us to shut off and hush ourselves. It is up to us. Do it.
Make it a quiet day…
