A short talk on making listening a daily habit. The speaker suggests five concrete practices: wake up earlier, get out of bed, take a walk, turn off the car radio, create five minutes of silence. He argues this quiet time is essential, not a luxury.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. Well, I got the tech issue resolved, so the site is back and running. Everything's running great. Thank you for that. And so your moment of yes for today, if you are watching this right now, there's probably a good chance that you have some extra time on your hands, right? Yeah. This obviously isn't a priority, so I'm thankful for that. I'm grateful for that. And so my question to you all today is, is when do you listen? When do you find time to listen? And if you answer that question, you have to think back. It's probably been, you know, a couple days or a couple weeks, or I can't remember the last time I just sat down to, to be silent, to be present, and to listen. And so how often do you do that? When is the last time you did that? And are you able to do it On a daily basis, even if, even if for just 5 minutes. And so, you know, can we make that, that time for ourselves a necessity? It is not a luxury. It is a necessity. So think about it. Can you wake up a few minutes earlier in the morning and just sit and be present, preferably outside of bed? Can you get outside? Can you go for a walk? Can you turn off your radio in your car on your way to work? And just find that sacred, precious time where you're not being distracted, where you're not consciously thinking about something, and you're just noticing and paying attention to whatever shows up in your consciousness, in your thoughts. And so you can start to be aware of finding that center, of finding that peace and presence in your thought. It really is a key and crucial part of your day. So are you finding that time to listen daily? If not, we need to talk. That's your moment of yes for today, everyone. Have a great day.
