Rosie BattistaSIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
Just for a minute.
At the risk of offending you with the bold offer to “sit down and shut up”, I am taking this opportunity to pass along the idea that doing this one thing daily will change your life. Yes! Doing this is that important to your health and your life!
If I was to be more gentle about the request, you might not hear me loud and clear. I could rephrase and say “find a few minutes, sit, meditate, go within”. And you might respond with a ” Yeah but…..”. Sit down and shut up is more direct and seems a bit easier to comprehend. It’s less complicated.
Just sit down. Shut up for a minute. And breathe. And do it daily.
You get that. It’s easy. Right?
Well, this is a meditation practice.
What’s cool about sitting down and shutting up, is that you can’t do it wrong, so you can drop the excuse that you don’t know how to do it. You can drop the excuse that you don’t know how to mediate. You can just sit down, “be quiet” and allow it to grow, expand and develop into “whatever it will” without judging.
Start there.
And take it here.
