Set aside time for not doing
I didn't make any progress on my journey of self-discovery until I understood the value of setting aside time for not doing. When you're busy all the time, it's easy to tell yourself you haven't got time to stop and have a minute to yourself. Most of us avoid sitting with ourselves through doing things. What I'm suggesting here is you make time for yourself. Make time to check in with yourself and what's going on in your life. Make time to sit quietly so you can hear what you're saying to yourself. Make time to stop and dream. Make time to simply be with yourself. How do ever expect to get to know who you really are if you never spend any quality time alone with yourself?
Book Excerpt
Mystical Journey: A Handbook for Modern Mystics
Pausing
It’s easy to ask questions like: Who am I? Why am I here? Are you there, God?
It’s something altogether different to hear the answers to your questions. That requires silence and a willingness to listen.
You will not hear the voice of God until you make time to listen. That means pausing and taking a break from doing.
Modern people are addicted to doing. We keep ourselves busy to avoid examining what we’re doing or questioning why we’re living our lives the way we are. But, if you don’t make the time to examine what’s happening, you can’t question your assumptions, you can’t see your patterns, and you won’t hear the guidance you ask for.
Mystics break that addiction by setting aside time for not doing.
