Admittedly, I’m not great at this. Somedays I feel like I am moving from one task or activity to another without any rest. But stillness is important. Spiritually, it helps me let go and let God. Stillness provides rest and clarity for me. Here are 3 ways I am striving to make time for stillness:
1. Quiet time in the morning
I have found a great time for stillness and quiet is the early morning. I have morning routine that includes time for my spiritual disciplines and reading. This is often the best time of my day because it’s time to reset and refocus.
2. Walks without electronics
I have recently started taking some walks without my phone or with my phone but not listening to any audios. I like this because I can unplug but sometimes it’s nice to listen to something with positive input.
3. Meditation apps
There are lots of apps you can download and listen to that help you focus your mindset. I like Abide which is a Christian meditation app that allows me to select different lengths of meditations depending on how long I need to refocus.
I know there are many other ways to make time for stillness such as sitting in nature. I think the key is to be intentional about it.
