The Benefits of Stillness in a Turbulent World
()
About this ebook
Life in the modern world is quite complex. We overwork and overdo it all the time. We never seem to make enough time for rest. Instead, we keep adding more stuff to our already overloaded schedules. This has taken a toll on our overall health and well-being. It has also created more tension and stress for us than ever. Further, our mental health and well-being are suffering because of our overloaded minds. There just does not seem to be enough hours in a day to relax and enjoy life. We are always going and doing.
This full-on lifestyle can also harm our relationships. We may end up being intentionally mean or even abusive to others, especially those closest to us. This is because unless we live in the present and pause before acting and speaking, especially if we feel frustrated, angry, hungry, or tired, we may do and say things we will later regret. This can destroy our closest relationships and cause undue tension in our lives.
As I explained in my previous e-book on How to Manifest Stillness in Our Turbulent World, we are anything but silent and peaceful in our culture. Our default position is to stay on the periphery of things. Finding our way out of the mode of overdoing and living in this moment is possible by turning inward and focusing on our breath for a few seconds. Or we can focus on the sounds around us or on what we are feeling at the moment. We can also look at our hands for a few seconds. Any of the above activities will help us turn inward and sense the vibrancy of our lives, both inside and out.
In my previous e-book on stillness, I showed how you must schedule times of stillness and solitude into your day. I also showed how you can shift from the doing mode to the being mode so that you do not keep getting overwhelmed by the many tasks you perform every day. The good news is that you can learn to rest and be still to discover your true essence. In that e-book, I asserted that one way you can discover your true essence is by focusing on this breath and this moment.
However, in this e-book, I will focus on some of the important benefits of living in the present and cultivating silence daily. I will argue that you should try to create a time for solitude at least once a day by pausing and focusing on your breath. This is where your true essence lies.
