It’s not easy to spend time with yourself. When it gets quiet around, it gets loud inside. There are so many things going through my head. Things that are in the past and want to be processed. Things that are in the future. And things that happen from second to second. The difficulty lies in allowing exactly these feelings and letting the head get loud. I would rather distract myself with loud music or reaching for my cell phone to lose myself in social media. Instead, we should listen to ourselves and give space to our thoughts. Maybe we encounter memories, wishes or decisions that otherwise have no place in our much too fast everyday life. Take a day, an hour or a minute and let your head be loud when everything around you gets quiet.
I have had a really precious and very quiet weekend. Lots of intense thoughts, some things that are clearer to me now and lots of creative hours. Even if that time by itself is not always pleasant, it brings so much positive. I am impressed by people who enjoy time with themselves and I am so happy that I am learning this quality as well.
