I guess some people might call it meditation or something. I try to have some times during the day where I just get quiet. I usually use the time to meditate on different things. Usually on a particular scripture or prayer maybe. I try to find some time every day to just be quiet. Don't you think it is good for your body and soul to just get quiet sometimes?

Yes, and if I don't get it Mac, I am very discombobulated the whole time.
I feel it is an absolutely vital part of my day, even if only for around 20 minutes or so in the early morning.

Yeah, at least a few minutes every day. It's really important!

I have some quiet time very early in the morning where I just relax and reflect on how my life is.


myLot reputation of 97/100. macdingolinger (4924)   ranked 14 out of 3,532 in me  2 years ago

That's really cool. I have my time in the mornings. I make my coffee and read and pray every morning. I like to have about 30 minutes at the shortest and really try for an hour if I don't hit the snooze too many times!

Yes, I try to do this whenever I can. I particularly like meditating at night with incense in my room, trying to relax my whole body in sections from the feet upwards. If I make it all the way to my head without falling asleep (quite difficult, I've found) it makes me feel so rejuvenated!


myLot reputation of 97/100. macdingolinger (4924)   ranked 14 out of 3,532 in me  2 years ago

yeah I have tried that a time or two. I don't usually get too far especially not at night. I do try to get everything pretty much out of my mind before I go to sleep. But to do that I try to read some in a book that way just before I go off to sleep I am living in someone else's world!


myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

It's definitely worth it if you get to the end result. And if not, at least you get to sleep! But I agree, reading books is a great way to wind down.

Yes, it is an almost must. I homeschool my children, and work from home. After the kids are in bed, and even before my husband and I have quiet time, I take 60- 90 minutes to just chill, relax, meditate, think, read, whatever I want. I need it!


myLot reputation of 97/100. macdingolinger (4924)   ranked 14 out of 3,532 in me  2 years ago

Yes you do need it! That's a lot for a day! I find if I take care of my self I can take care of others even better!

I like to take about an hour everyday and read.. That is my "me" time. It's so relaxing just to bury my nose in a book and forget all the troubles the day holds.


myLot reputation of 97/100. macdingolinger (4924)   ranked 14 out of 3,532 in me  2 years ago

Awesome! It's refreshing too and helps us keep ourselves together!

I really don't. The only time I really have daily quiet time is when I'm at work. I'm a preschool teacher so I work with about 10 one year olds each day so you can imagine that it is quite crazy and loud each day. I just want peace and quiet by the time nap time rolls around. Whenever it's time for nap, we get some peace. Then I go on break and usually it's pretty quiet but not all the time. So I do get some peace and quiet at work. Some days whenever I get home from work I just want to sit in the silence but that's not always the case.


myLot reputation of 97/100. macdingolinger (4924)   ranked 14 out of 3,532 in me  2 years ago

I can imagine if you are around one year olds all day you'll want plenty of quiet time after you get off work! That's a crazy day I am sure! And anything but quiet too!

yes. my home is far away from the place where i worked. it takes me 1hour by bus from home and company everyday. i will meditate on the things when i get on the bus taking me back home, think about what the work i did today, and what i need to do at home. the science what i saw on the road will also remind me of some one or some experience happened on me in the past.


myLot reputation of 97/100. macdingolinger (4924)   ranked 14 out of 3,532 in me  2 years ago

It's good that you can use that time productively. I like times like that where I feel like I can "get myself together." I don't get too many times like that!

I think it is very good for human to meditate in quiet from time to time. It is more important when you have many stress situations to releief your problems.

I try to take mine early in the morning. I get up and enjoy my coffee in the early quiet before everyones feet hit the floor running. In the summer I wander through the flower beds and make mental notes of what needs to be done there. I agree that we all need that few moments of just being.
