It's Be Still Week,
When was the last time you were still, truly still? I don't mean just your body, I mean all of you.
When was the last time your mind was still? Where you able to quiet those noisey, nagging thoughts that go 'round and 'round.
Learning to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.
Morgan Freeman
Now I know what you thinking, I don't have time to be still, well I understand that it would appear that way. Let me tell you, you don't have time not to be. But here is the good news...
You only need to give it the same attention you would give diarrhea.
Sorry about that, but if you are not taking the time to be still, you will loose contact with you. You run the risk of forgetting how amazing you are, how talented and beautiful, and unique you are.
So, how do you find time to be still?Just Stop! Stop doing... everything and just be. Be what? Be you! Easy? hmmmm
I am going to let you in on a little secret, well it is not really a secret, I like to tell anyone who will listen, but I still think it is one of the best ways to be still.
Go to the toilet!
No, not the diarrhea thing. I am talking about when you pee. Yes, that is what I said, pee. Everytime you need to go, just be. I mean it. Stop laughing. When was the last time you remember going to the toilet? I mean really remembered going? I bet you were thinking about a million other things and were not thinking or observing what you were doing there.
Give it a try, when you pee, just be!
Go with the flow!
Just allow and observe!
However you do it, take some time each day this week to just be still. Not only will you benefit in so many ways, but so will those around you.
In the midst of movement or chaos, keep stillness inside you.
