Thought of the week – Inner Silence

Greetings all!
 
One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2023 is to find, hold on to, and enjoy the moments of complete silence – however brief! – with no distractions, no internal or external chatter, no devices, nothing in my hands or in my head.

Surprisingly, truly doing nothing is not easy to do! The brain is thinking of the next item on the to-do list, the hands are itching to open a new book, cook a meal, or check for new Internet articles… 

But when I do pause and let go, the inner (almost) silence does feel wonderful! 

Inner silence promotes clarity of mind;

It makes us value the inner world;

It trains us to go inside to

the source of peace and inspiration

when we are faced with

problems and challenges.
