The value of a quiet mind
This is a reminder to myself about the value of a quiet mind. In a world of ever-increasing stimuli that demand both my immediate attention and real estate in my subconscious, I sometimes forget the benefits of having a calm, clear head:
- the ability to be present and appreciate sensory experiences
- having available faculties to direct towards complex tasks and make informed decisions
- time to reflect on the past and plan for the future
- lower physical stress and cortisol
- etc.
Resist the urge to constantly fill the void behind the eyes and between the ears.
