Michael Hyatt, in his blog post on “The Practice of Stillness,” points out that stillness “is tremendously difficult in our media rich, always-on, over-communicated society. The first of five simple exercises that Julian Treasure provides to improve conscious listening in his TED Talk “5 ways to listen better” is three minutes of silence daily. Many professionals and experts have begun talking about the importance of such times, and it seems to me that this is a key element of living a deeper, more connected life – connected with the people around you and with the things you value most. However, unless we deliberately take time to sit and reflect on our lives a part of our regular schedule, we run the risk of missing the significance of the time spent with family and friends, of getting swept away in the whirlwind of activity rather than making meaningful investments in the people we love. Parties, special musicals, family gatherings, shopping – the list of demands upon our time and attention seems endless. Stillness and quietness are not what most people think about during the weeks leading up to Christmas. When was the last time you sat still and quiet for more than 30 seconds – without looking at your phone? It was simply being quiet and still that brought me the strength I needed to go forward. I came home from those outings better able to face the demands of the week, even though I had not spent any time working on my many tasks. I have always found that sitting quietly in nature has a power to restore my soul, and in that season, I definitely needed restoration. It seemed the only time I could take for myself was Sunday morning, and there were a couple of weeks during that season that I simply skipped church and ran off to a local state park.

TED TALKS THE ART OF STILLNESS HOW TO
In this talk he shares three important topics on how to build a fulfilling life. Topic: Psychiatrist Robert Waldinger directed a 75-year study on adult development, which is a really long study. Topic: Dinsmore did what many dream of doing - he quit a job he hated and spent four years working out how to make a living out of something he actually cared about. Here we list eight talks on the subject of happiness videos that will raise your morale and put a bounce into your step. If you've never watched a TED Talk, it's essentially like YouTube for nerds: an emanate figure takes to a stage for around 20 minutes to talk about a subject or idea of particular interest to them. At risk of sounding like Mark from Peep Show, TED Talks are bloody brilliant.
