Taking time to stop and think Print E-mail
PoohOne of the issues that I see as being important is that we need to set aside time to reflect and think.
How are you doing with this practice?
Do you have a place to think and shape your thoughts? I've been reading Winnie the Pooh to some children and these words resonated with me.

“Here is Edward Bear now coming downstairs on his head, bump, bump, bump, behind Christopher Robin. It is as far as he knows the only way of coming down though he feels there really ought to be a better way if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think about it.”

Bump bump bump!

Does this characterise your days, weeks and months?

These are some questions I asked myself ...

Am I acting purposefully?
Am I taking the necessary time to think?
When did I last set aside some time to think about how and why I'm doing what I'm doing?

What questions do you ask yourself when you stop and think?
