When was the last time you sat in total silence and did nothing but allow your mind to wander where it would? You may have sat and thought with a purpose about how to solve a specific issue at work, or maybe you sat with your Ipod on and relaxed. But when did you just do nothing and let your mind guide your thoughts to just “wherever”?
We tend to be busy people. We have a lot on the “to do” list, on any given day. That being said, carving time for silent time or personal reflection can be hard to do. What if it didn’t require 30 minutes or an hour? What if just 10 minutes a day would change your life? I am telling you that is the case!
The key to making the most of your ten minutes is to be silent and not micro-manage your thought process. This can be easier said than done, so it may take a bit of practice. This is okay and very normal. You might want to set your watch or a kitchen timer to alert you to the end of your ten minutes. Relax and let your mind go where it will. Truly pay attention to your thoughts, your mental questions, and your mental answers as well. If you do this daily for 2 weeks, I believe you will begin to experience more clarity, confidence, and less anxiety.
I would like to invite you to take what I call the Ten Minute Challenge! Ten silent and unstructured minutes per day for 2 weeks. If you accept this challenge, I invite you to comment back on how it helped you or affected your life. If you prefer to share this information privately, you can email me at jenny@thelifecoachforwomen.com
Self discovery and spiritual coaching are greatly complimented by taking those few minutes to be still with yourself each day. I look forward to hearing your experiences!
