Spend a quiet evening

By Kashi Read more daily challenge, home life, inner growth, inner harmony, and simple living
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Instead of reaching for the TV remote or other electronic media, tonight challenge yourself to read, talk, walk, or just sit companionably quiet. You’ll be surprised how rejuvenating it is to be alone with your thoughts or share some mellow conversation.

    We loved this so much we now have every Wed. & Thurs. as ‘date night’. We put on some soft jazz & cook together. We then finish up the evening on Wed. with an old game that belonged to our kids, Mind Trap. It is definitely keeping our minds sharp!

    I’m going to spend the evening painting a picture to hang in my bedroom instead of watching the news.

    I’m on my feet all day at work, so when I finally get home, I’m pretty tired, and I relish my quiet time away from anyone. This helps me unwind, facilitates meditation or reading, and helps me stay calm and relaxed. I love this challenge !!

    Saturday, the zoo (weather has been great here in Albuquerque). Sunday, Kite flying. Both activities are great, for those of us with or without kids. My parents used to go to the zoo after we all left home. They said it made them feel like kids!

    I decided that I just wanted some me time. No tv, computers, phones. I read by candlelight.

    The wind is blowing and the snow is piling up outside, but here indoors, I’ve finished my Kashi Go Lean and my cup of tea, and have thoroughly enjoyed this morning’s gift of tranquility and relaxation!

    With a history of narcolepsy, sleep and rest are very hard because I can sit down and crash. I have started a medication that helps me stay awake to enjoy the world and life. I enjoy the quiet times with my blind Golden, brushing him and cuddling with him. I have missed this. Thanks for the challenge.

    We carried this challenge on into Saturday with a dinner for 2 at a great restaurant. Maybe at some point, Kashi can issue challenges for Saturday and Sunday too !!!!!
