lately, I have been much more intentional about taking quiet moments for myself.
it is so easy to get wrapped up in the go, go, go. your brain is going at 100mph; always thinking about what is the next task to be checked off the list. it is important to take time + escape. the escape looks different to many people. for me, my escape is with a pencil + a notebook. it is with a cup of coffee. it is reading a book, or listening to a podcast. it is searching my mind for the creative thoughts that often get pushed aside by real life tasks. and it is filling my mind with inspiration + knowledge.
[currently reading dream year, again + listening to all of the lively show].
you never know what you may gain from taking quiet moments for yourself. maybe it’s simply a chance for you to breathe + reflect. reduce stress. collect your thoughts. discover a passion. ignite inspiration. revel in the silence. build a business idea. or by chance, a little of each. don’t limit your possibilities.
I listened to a bit of talk yesterday on my lunch break by lisa congdon, author + artist. she quoted the poet mary oliver + what she said really resonated with me: “keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable”. you never really know what is around the next turn. do not limit yourself. chase your wildest dreams!
do you take quiet moments for yourself? what do they look like?
