Get a dose of silence!

Hello everyone!

A quick note today about something I think is absolutely vital, silence. Let's face it, our lives are noisy. Cell phones ring and alarm, endless amounts of small talk, interruptions, television full of time wasting shows, you name it, it's out there. NOISE! It's no wonder that stress in a variety of forms rears its head with so many people. Most folks, maybe even you, never enjoy the gift of silence.

For some of you silence may mean prayer. Regardless of what version of God you subscribe to, silent prayer and meditation has a myriad of benefits. Here's my suggestion for you today; make ten minutes of silence a daily practice. If you find yourself sitting there and wondering what the heck to think about or worse your mind won't turn off, how about thinking about all the things you are grateful for? A spirit of gratitude combined with some silence is a combination that yields great success for all of us who take part in it.

Give it a try today!
Live Radically,
Gary
