The Ultimate Habit of Creating Quiet Space

The very first thing we encounter in the morning is the irreverent and irritating interruption of the alarm clock. This is just the beginning of the assault of noise and distractions that permeates our days. As our world begins to wake up, televisions, radios, conversations, and appliances begin to create a vibration of chaos all around us. Unnerved, we move from a state of rest to overload before the sun has even come up.

Creating a quiet space at the beginning of your day is essential to our well-being.

Just as a baby starts life in the womb. We need a place from which to birth the day. It must be a dark, quiet, warm and safe place that prepares us for life. In our quiet space, we’ll develop our senses and our capacity. Without this quiet space, we are delivered into our lives premature. Our ability to navigate the possibilities is immediately diminished. However, if we are given a space to incubate our ideas, our thoughts, and to calculate the output required for the day ahead we could take on the day with a fresh perspective on life.

The greatest gift we can give ourselves is uninterrupted time to ponder, plan and prepare. (click to tweet)

Only in silence and solitude can we take stock emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally.

We can create the ultimate quiet space by…

• Purchasing an alarm clock that gently nudges us from our slumber. Options are available that wake us up by slowly lighting our room. Other models can provide sounds from nature that woo us out of bed. Or we can use the harp setting on our I Phone’s that serenades us to rise and face the day.
• Keeping a beautiful bathrobe & slippers at the end of our bed. This will help us carry the warmth of our slumber into our quiet space.
• Using a coffee pot with an automatic brew setting that begins 5 minutes before our alarm time. This allows us to arrive in our kitchen with hot water for tea or coffee at the ready.
• Creating a spot in our home where we will meet the day. This gives us a foundation for our new habit. Choosing a place with a window facing East (perfect for watching sunrises) with a comfortable chair, a journal, writing utensils, our calendar and reading materials will inspire the day.
• Entering the space with reverence for our life and its creator gives us an attitude of gratitude to carry throughout the day.
• Wearing pajamas that enable us to do some stretching or yoga that entices us to literally move into the day.

We start our quiet time with centering. This practice allows us to consent to the day. To consent means to agree with the day. Give it permission to unfold. We agree to show up today with our ‘best’ self. We listen for the small still voice inside that tells us we are not alone. Quiet is the space where we recognize our desires and release them into dreams so they can become our destiny. Tomorrow morning let’s rise and seek out our quiet space knowing that each time we enter this sacred space we are being prepared.

…Prepared to make the possibilities probable.
