I have to admit it was taking me awhile since I seem to think so much quicker because I am continually taking in so much information all the time. Like right this moment I am writing this and going back and forth reading notifications. I'm not focused, I have been noticing this lately but I realized it more when I sat down to write that letter...
I had to turn everything off.. not an easy thing for me to do and I didn't know why. Then writing that letter made me realize how I always try to keep it noisy, even when I sleep... I NEVER turn my phone off, that changes tonight... I often fall asleep with the TV... another thing to go.
Tonight I was reading blogs and Dawn who writes Healing Morning wrote about meditation... it's the answer to what I need. I'm starting this tonight and in the morning... I need to clear my mind, I need to make quiet time. I know that when I do this, I will have a better start to my day, hopefully with less stress.
It might help with my insomnia... it may have me focused in the morning. I can see this being good for me. I'm looking forward to that fifteen minutes or more... eventually I want it to be 30 minutes twice a day. An hour a day for myself seemed like a lot but I give those hours away so easily for unimportant things that I realized an hour a day for myself is a small thing to ask.
It is true that texting is taking away the personal touch of a letter.
ReplyDeleteMeditation is indeed a way of enlightening ourselves.
Thank you Mahnoor :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Munir... I am trying to be more personal... I think meditation may be the answer for me :)
ReplyDeleteI think meditation would be a great thing for you. And I agree--we have lost the finer art of hand-writing letters to people. Everything is either texted or mentioned on Fb. It feels good and a lot more personal to write a letter to someone special!!
ReplyDeleteawesome post Launna I checked out the blog on meditation and will start doing this more also. Thank u for posting this and I agree, it's very necessary.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marcia... it felt good to get that personal letter down on paper... I know I lost the fine art of letter writing:-D
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda...I hope the meditation helps you too ;-)

I've found that I type so much, that when I have to write something, my handwriting is horrible. I can barely read it. I have to make it a point to hand write more. Good luck on the meditation. It sounds very relaxing.

Thank you Marie... it's evening here... I hope you had a lovely weekend;-)
ReplyDeleteThank yoy Ellen... The same thing happens to me, hence why I had to rewrite it so much ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a good friend who swears by meditation. I may give it a whirl myself.
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith... I'm looking forward to the meditation ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! Gone is any type of mail that is not a bill anymore. We don't send birthday cards, or anniversary cards, or sympathy cards anymore. Everything is electronic. I have even been invited to weddings via Facebook events. It's good you wrote this personal letter because it does make it more,,,,personal.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy... I needed this letter to be personal... I need to slow down on the technology:-)
ReplyDeleteIt seems we all live such distracted lives with so much going on at once. I think a time of meditation and quiet is a good idea for everyone if they can find a way to accomplish it. Nice post, Launna!
ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy, I have been meditating, not for as long as I would like though... it takes a lot to quiet my mind :)
