“A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live.”

– Bertrand Russell, British philosopher

If you research happiness, you will discover that most people who describe frequent experience of it include numerous quiet and reflective situations in their lives.

These include meditation, prayer, walking in nature, reading, journaling, and some other forms of reflective writing.

Exercise:

Examine your current life volume and consider turning it down a bit. Look at taking several blocks of quiet time daily to recharge, rejuvenate, and renew yourself.

Feel free to reply to this message with any of your own quiet pursuits that bring you greater joy and happiness.
