Here are some tips that can help you have a few moments of
quiet in your day:
1 Make it a
priority(优先的事物). Like brushing your teeth or taking a shower,10 minutes of quiet time a day is part of taking care of your body
and cultivating (陶冶) your spirit.
2 Teach the people
you live with about quiet time. No television or computer or music. This is
the time to read or play or create art alone. Tell the people around you about the
importance of quiet and lead by example. Then they'll begin to support you and
enjoy it as well.
3 Use the spaces in
between. I seldom have the radio on in the car when I'm driving alone. When
I'm waiting for an appointment(约会), I seldom text or talk just to enjoy the quiet before the
appointment.
4 Create at least
one daily activity that needs quiet. Go for a run without earphones. Take a long bath, or a shower before bed. My morning coffee is a time of enjoying quiet. When I know I've got a very busy day ahead, I'll get up 15 minutes early just to drink coffee alone in the quiet.
Creating pockets of quiet is a powerful way to make your life
full of energy. You'll feel better to manage the challenges of your day.
