The quiet room is a place I go to where I can get in touch with my quiet self. It is a somewhat barren room with just an old leather chair. The windows have no curtains so I can look out into my garden.
The water on the lake is still and reflects the morning sun. You can see the ducks and geese swimming in the lake. The birds are coming in for their morning feeding. Their songs are a symphony of sound that makes you pause and listen.
The quiet room is where I sit and embrace the calm. The view and the sounds are only those that nature creates. It is a time to reach inside and feel the peace. I always hear that we need to get in touch with ourselves. I am not sure if that can truly describe the quite room but I do feel the calm and tranquility. I feel a powerful sense of confidence and I am reassured that I am ready to greet the day
I carry with me my knowledge, my toolbox of skill sets learned and developed over a lifetime. You can feel the energy but it is a calm steady flowing current. I am ready to own my day, own my emotions, and own how I treat the people I engage during this day. I am ready to embrace the now. It is time.
Point Of View:
We all have or should have a place to find our calm and reflect upon the things that make us who we are. We need this place to get ourselves ready, our emotional content ready, to get our body relaxed, and to go into the world with our best self present. How we own this process, own our actions and emotions daily is a direct response to how our thoughts and emotions align. We must decide that we control our thoughts, actions, and emotions. When we take the time consistently to sit quietly alone, when we go to our quiet place and connect we have prepared our best self to greet the world. When we have clarity of mind we are better in our personal life and in our business life. We make better decisions, present an inspiring energy, and engage the people we meet and work in a more calm state of mind. We are better prepared to give and to receive life’s gifts.
I love this Larry
You articulate it so well
How we need to sooth our souls
We create more room for life when we embrace a quiet space to filter the view without clutter getting in the way
A simple change of scenery can do wonders for the soul
Thank you my friend 🙏
We should all have a quiet place to retreat, take a break and reflect, because only this helps us to clarify what is happening around and within us. To put the world on pause to question yourself. To clean up the mind of the thousand junk that end up inside every day.
This allows us to put aside what does not add value to our lives, to dedicate ourselves to the essential that is what is needed for things to be what they are, what gives meaning to what is, all that remains when we have removed the superfluous.
And writing is a very useful exercise to listen to one’s life and plan the days to come. The problem is not really what to write or when to write, but to plan some time to think and then make a list of the things we want to remove from our lives and how we can do to remove them. To make room for essential things.
Sounds idyllic, Larry…..everyone should have a “quiet room” to retire to so they can unwind, think, or just get away. Thanks for sharing yours!
Thank you for your feedback Sandy I am grateful
Always my pleasure, Larry! Keep those articles coming!! 🙂
The quiet room reminds of various meditation practices where you focus the mind. I’m not just talking about the mantras — I’m talking about how some meditation practices focus on visualization, allowing you to conjure things that are just not there. You can change the colours of the walls, create forests where you smell and feel the trees, or see and talk to people that just aren’t there. Of course it’s all illusions in your own mind, but even though they are illusions they still have a very positive impact on your emotions and your self esteem.
I agree Chris the reward is the state of mind.
A truly remarkable narration of the significance to bring peace in our lives. The daily humdrum takes a heavy toll on our psyche and the only way to rejuvenate is through the reminiscing process of a few solitary moments where we can be all by ourselves.
Thank You, Larry Sir!
Thank you my friend
