How often do you say to yourself, "I just don't have enough time?" I hear that a lot and it's a shame because taking time out to rest is a choice. In all of my yoga classes I give a small talk on a different topic, like silence, eight fold path, etc. and one day we were talking about the importance of silence. Our society today is all about the TV, radio, cell phones and filling up your time to keep busy. Busy people make money right? That's what the media tells us. How often do you turn on the TV for just background noise? Is it because you like the noise? Is it because you hate the silence? Sitting in silence can be very aggravating or scary to some. But let me let you in on something. If you choose to carve out some time each day to sit in silence, you allow yourself to relax the body and mind. And by doing this, you create a healthy venue to discover more about yourself and what is going on around you.
To be honest there is no excuse to say you don't have enough time, because you do. Its a choice and its a lifestyle change. Try taking at least 5 minutes a day just sitting with nothing on. No radio, TV, nothing and just see what happens.
