When you finally address the need for ‘calmness’ in your life, you realise that making time for silence is essential to your well-being.
For example, having driven 1.5 hours to work on fast and busy roads I pause for just a couple of minutes in my car before I go into the office. My team is always surprised at how cheery and energised I am.
Even a brief time of just ‘being’ can re-charge and re-energise you in what is often a hectic working day.
The quality of your thinking returns and your productivity and creativity soar.
