Quiet Times for Stress Reduction + Peace

[Guest guest]

We need quiet times in order to reduce stress and develop, peace and

serenity in our lives. We spend most of our days speaking or being

spoken to. It's important to set aside time to speak to ourselves. We

need to speak to ourselves gently and honestly each day. We need to

spend quality time with ourselves to keep in touch with who we are and

where we're headed.

A diver takes the time for a deep breath and a quiet moment before he

jumps, and so it is for us before we jump from one activity to the next.

In this way we can honor ourselves and our actions by offering respect

for what we've just done, and for what we're about to do.
