Still Moments

Each of us need some quiet time space for ourselves, so do our little energetic child. We can’t deny that children learn a lot through play. However it is equally important to balance our children’s time with both stimulating activities and quiet activities. According to research done, creating a calm environment to little children provides them an opportunity to stay focus and allow ideas to flow in while promoting growth and development. However, being quiet and having quiet time is rare in the world of children at home or in school.

By indulging into a quiet time, I feel that I can put the world around me on hold, while having my mind and spirit refreshed. With a clearer and calmer mind, we can think and solve things better. Here are the ways to make most of quiet times:

1. Schedule some quiet time for yourself. Either wakes up before anyone else at home wakes up.

2. Be still during quiet time. It can be very difficult as there are so many things waiting to be done each moment, so try set about 15mins a day for some quiet moments, like reading.

3. Do breathing meditation. Just close your eyes, slowly breathe in and out, and think of nothing else.

I am glad I found this while writing this article. Please take moment and enjoy a quiet moment with John Hinson - “A Still Moment”.
