Thursday Challenge – {Be} Silence
- Conserve Energy Day / Enjoy the Silence Day (a day to step back from all the craziness and distractions swirling around us… a moment to contemplate on 6.7 billion people on the planet… how many light bulbs, computers, TV’s, radios, air-conditioners etc… and how much energy is required to keep all of this going. also a moment to realize how much noise is constantly bombarding us with advertising, billboards, commercials etc. this is our opportunity to step back from all of this… and to step into the calm silence… the beautiful stillness that awaits all of us in our own heart… an opportunity to hear the magical rhythms of our own breath and heart beat)
- turn all our lights and electronic devices off from 7:30 until bedtime… use the beautiful illumination of a candle
- turn off the tv, radio, computer, cell phone… everything
- {BE} in Silence from 7:30 – 8:30 … just {BE}
- enjoy ourselves… enjoy the silence… begin to realize how fast paced life can get with so many distractions… this is our time to root back into ourselves and ask what we really want in our lives
- just BE with ourselves … if any starting points are desired…
- if we want we can reflect upon/introspect
- our happiness
- our health
- our lifestyle
- a few other enjoyable opportunities to explore
- gaze into the eyes of a special friend
- play the instrument that has been sitting in the corner of the room for 2 years
- listen to the beautiful rhythm of our own breath and heart beat
- light a candle and read the book we have been wanting to but haven’t had time for
- practice yoga or meditation
- if we want we can reflect upon/introspect
