8 Ways to Bring Stillness into Your Life

1. When you are home alone, get out of the habit of turning on the television, radio or sound system
2.  When Driving, Enjoy the Scenery
3. If you have little ones at home, get them involved in the practice of silence. Make it a game. "Who can not speak for five, 10 or 15 minutes?" You'll get a little break from the constant chattering of the kids, and they'll learn a valuable practice at an early age.
4.  Eat a meal in silence. Silent eating helps you pay closer attention to your food, enhancing the sensory experience of flavors and textures.
5.   Meditate in Your Home. Designate a certain hour or half-hour of the day as silent time, perhaps in the early morning or before bedtime. 
6.  Sleep in Silence
7. Take a walk in the woods or at a nature sanctuary -- someplace far from the maddening crowd.
8.  When in line at the grocery store, avoid reading the gossip rags or joining in "complaint conversation" with others in the checkout line.
