Here are some reflection questions you can ask to help with embracing stillness:
- What does the concept of "stillness" mean to you in the context of a busy life?
- Can you recall a time when you recognised the need for a break from your daily tasks and responsibilities? How did you respond to that realisation?
- How do you typically react to stress or periods of intense busyness? Do you tend to push through or take a moment to step back?
- What challenges do you face when attempting to incorporate moments of stillness into your routine? Are there any specific barriers that prevent you from doing so?
- What are the benefits that can come from intentionally creating spaces of calm and reflection amidst a hectic schedule?
- What are some activities or practices that help you feel more grounded and present during moments of stillness?
- How might embracing stillness positively influence your overall wellbeing and sense of fulfilment?
Feel free to use these questions to facilitate meaningful discussions or personal reflections on the importance of embracing stillness and finding balance in life.
