I’m a huge fan of meditation and quiet times, and it’s something I do as regularly as possible. And thankfully, it’s always been easy for me to just retreat into my own shell and listen to my thoughts. Even if I am in a crowd of people, I’ll still be able to tune everything out and concentrate on my innermost thoughts.
So yeah, meditation is a really big deal to me. And I wonder why many people don’t even take it seriously. Maybe if they did, they wouldn’t be so quick to do certain things that would only land them in messy situations. I’ve learned that meditations keep you grounded and also give you firmer control over your thought processes and how they affect your physical body. Oh yeah!
As I said, most of the time, I plan quiet moments. These are periods where I don’t do anything at all. I don’t read, watch movies, or listen to music. I just sit on my chair or lie in my bed (not to sleep), and in the quiet, I let these thoughts wander in my mind. I listen to my gut about most of the things happening around me, and sometimes, I get solutions to issues here. Because indeed, sometimes what you just need is some peace and quiet to think about your problems, to be able to figure out how to solve them.
And other times, I don’t even plan it! It just happens. Maybe I’m listening to music, and it hits me in a certain type of way, and it then pulls me into this train of thought that I won’t be willing to get off. It also happens when I’m watching a movie, and I find myself getting carried away by the thoughts in my head. It could be a line or the theme of a particular scene, and it will trigger something in me.
I have no issues pausing a good song or movie just to think through the ideas it puts in my head. I’m the kind of person who can stop whatever I’m doing just to jot down my inspiration when they hit me. I once turned off a gas cooker and left what I was cooking just because I got a story idea, and I needed to write it down before I forgot about it. It took me over an hour.
Well, this is the same for me. As for speaking of inspiration, I also get inspired when I take the time to meditate. For me, I don’t even need a quiet place, all I need is no distractions. And I’ll just get into this deep conversation with myself. It’s always giving this feeling of total cleansing, and I believe that because I do this often, I know myself better. And I also know what I’m capable of. And even better, I have stronger control over my impulses and thoughts.
Well, cheers to me!

I really love the way you describe meditation in this post . Meditation, indeed, is about creating a space that will enable you to hear yourself and mute the noise around you.
Many great ideas come from meditating. I can relate to that too, and in a world full of distractions, we always need to meditate and listen to inner voices.
Honestly, Cheers to you. Your habit of meditating shows you are self aware and disciplined.
I rarely get the chances for such a moment because I always remain busy with my daily schedule but sometime specially in a rainy day such a situation arrives I can think only about my thoughts. I think for me it's the weather to decide.
