"A primary method for gaining a mind full of
peace is to practice emptying the mind."
~Napoleon Hill
We are often so caught up with working and doing things that we ignore peace. We might crave it, but we don't do anything to pursue it or encourage it. For many of us, thoughts chase us throughout the day, even into the night. We have trouble turning our mind off, so we have trouble getting sleep. We find it difficult to relax because we are always thinking of everything we have to do. At least once a day, we need to empty our minds to create space for peace. Turn off the thoughts and turn your mind inward, allowing your thoughts to drift away. Breathe. Keep breathing. Allow your muscles to relax and stay in the present moment. Invite peace into your life. And watch your life change in positive ways.
This week: Everyday take at least 15 minutes to empty your mind. Breathe deeply from your belly and sigh when you exhale. Allow the tension to leave your shoulders and neck. Picture your mind emptying out. Imagine your thoughts taking flight and disappearing into the sky above you. (Don't worry, you'll be able to get them back). Imagine washing your mind with your favorite color. Bathe your mind in calming light and energy. Invite peace into your mind to fill the space that is now there. Relax and enjoy. Do this at least once a day for a full week. Notice how you feel at the end of the week. Isn't peace worth at least 15 minutes of your day?
