The Power of Quiet: Being Alone with Yourself

I don't know, have you ever had such a trouble-running around desperately looking for the outside world, but you can't calm down and get lost more and more. ...

I often have this state, especially anxious, unable to calm down, unable to sleep, actually not busy with anything, just stop and panic. Then I fill my time with TV dramas and online news and fall into a state of addiction. In pain, I fell. I am the kind of person who watches TV while cooking, eating, washing dishes and cleaning up housework, and then the TV is twice as slow and boring, but I can't stand it. Then there is a drama on the tablet, playing landlords on the mobile phone, and my heart is empty. ...

This book is very thin. The first time I read it was from 2065438+mid-February 2009,/kloc-more than 0/00 pages, and I read it in half an hour! In my opinion, the author's writing does not have much logic. The whole article is actually the end, returning to the heart.

First, go to the end.

Going to the end is not to let you ignore the world, but to pull away, so that you can see more clearly and love more deeply.

"I try to keep myself away from all kinds of technology, so that I can remember who I am more easily."

A few days ago, the automatic push function of most mobile apps was turned off, lacking various notifications. I have to say, it feels very good. I will continue to practice in the future and give myself more time away from my mobile phone.

Many times, we feel that there are too many things to do to stop. In fact, the more this time, the more you need to "rest in peace." In our bones, we all need a blank and pause. It is with pause that a piece of music can make people sing.

Second, go back to your heart-meditation

In this distracting era, nothing can bring people a sense of abundance like concentration. In this rapidly changing era, nothing is more important than sitting quietly.

Actually, the external force comes from Uneri. Whether you believe or not, it is recommended to return often and be alone with yourself. I am a Christian, and the Bible also places great emphasis on "rest", and even makes the Sabbath a holy day. The Christian church has prayer and practice, which is similar to meditation now.

The Sabbath will remind us that in the end, all our journeys will end at home. You can get rid of those common habits without going far away. Those places that can bring us the most touch are often old friends who have not been in touch for a long time in memory; We approached them with a strong sense of familiarity, as if we had returned to some places we already knew.

"There is a strange rule in the life of meditation, that is, you can't just sit there and solve the problem at hand. You stay with the problem for a while until it is solved naturally. "

"Self-control" also mentioned meditation, willpower experiment: 5 minutes to train the brain to meditate.

1. Stay where you are and sit quietly.

2. Pay attention to your breathing.

3. Feel the breath and find out how you are distracted.

Meditation is not to let you think nothing, but to let you not be too distracted and forget your original goal.

Share the pictures in the book again. The quiet beauty of nature is very charming.

All the photos were taken by Icelandic photographer Eydis S. Luna Einarsdottir. Except for the standard color adjustment, all the pictures have not been modified by the computer.

Reading, especially reading a good book, is also a very good way to be alone with yourself. While reading, I think and talk to myself.
