The Power of Stillness: 10 Reasons It’s So Important
We are getting into the busy season of the year and creating space in your day for moments of stillness are more important than ever.
Here are 10 reasons why this is so important:
Mental Clarity: When you quiet your mind you can think clearer which helps with decision-making.
Emotional Balance: Letting your brain breathe will help you manage feelings and reduce stress.
Physical Relaxation: it helps release tension and fatigue in the body.
Creativity & Inspiration: it allows space for fresh ideas and inspiring insights.
Mindfulness & Presence: it helps you engage fully in the moment.
Self-Reflection: it allows time for you to connect with and remember your intentions, goals and values.
Stress Reduction: lowers stress levels for peace.
Better Sleep: it improves sleep quality and rest.
Increased Productivity: while it may seem counter productive, taking this time can actually boost focus and energy.
Overall Well-Being: It allows us to show up to each moment of our day as our best selves.
It doesn't have to be long. Start with five minutes of quiet and work your way up. Play some soft music and sip on some tea, journal, go for a walk, sit in nature. Pay attention to how your body feels after. You'll likely discover a sense of calm, clarity, and resilience growing within you.
If you can make a real effort to incorporate stillness into your day, over time you'll come to appreciate the transformative power of it and find it easier to show up to each moment as your best self.
