Space to think

There’s a reason why some of our best ideas come in the shower.

We’re tuning into our vast creativity instead of regularly scheduled programming.

We’re inquiring within, instead of being overly reliant on good ol’ Uncle Google.

Allow yourself time free from YouTube, podcasts, music, social media, TV, audiobooks, texting, and phone calls.

Drive with the stereo turned off every once in a while.

Put the phone down.

Use the time to think about whatever it is that is most pressing to you. When your mind wanders, return it to the topic at hand.

Or, simply allow your mind to go where it may.

I am often amazed by the creative sparks that are ignited and the solutions that spring forth even in short spurts of silent inquiry.

Be still. Sit in silence. Go within.
