Noise pollution. I often use this word just to describe what my mum does every time she fills our house with her so called 'sermon.' But being a 20 year old now makes me think differently. I used to enjoy listening to loud music, chat with my friends nonstop and wouldn't mind at all if my phone beeps constantly. And it suddenly came to this point where my mind and body were already begging me for SOLITUDE.
Cars honking, cellphones ringing and people chattering. Now these are real noises. Everything's just so loud now, we even got accustomed to it. We sometimes think, sleeping is the only quiet time we have with ourselves. Well I've reached my breaking point. I needed a break.

I've read this book called "The Monk who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin Sharma just recently. One of the strategies stated to life fulfillment is the Ritual of Solitude, where you spend as little as 15 minutes to 50 in still quietness. Some would say they would rather sleep than do this since they don't have time. Well let's put it this way. You're a race car worth millions. Would it then be wise to run all day long everyday without letting the engine cool down for a bit? Remember, you're worth millions! It's the same with our minds. We need to find time and let it rest for a while.
"Taking time to renew yourself is the most important thing you can do. Ironically, taking time out from your hectic schedule for self-improvement and personal enrichment will dramatically improve your effectiveness once you get back into it."
Try to have a certain place and a certain time everyday to do reflections. Don't let negative thoughts boggle you while doing it ofcourse. If you know you've done something wrong that day then just think of how you should have reacted to the situation instead.You could also try to commune with nature by going out, breathing fresh air and savoring nature's gifts.
Investment in ourselves is all it takes. Let's stop saying we don't have time for this and that and do have with facebook or that latest movie in theaters. Again, use our minds right. Think. :)
