There was a book I read some time ago called 'The Art of Loving'. It is one of my favorites. The author (I've forgotton) mentions in one section, a section about loving yourself, how few people can stand to be just with themselves. They must have something to distract them from their thoughts. He suggested, to get to know yourself, to sit quietly, with no outside distractions, for about 1/2 hour per day to get to know yourself. He mentions, that even in a quiet place, your mind will take you away with outside thoughts and distract you from just being with you and you had to be careful of this happening.

I tried it for awhile, but I bored me ;-) I need some sort of sound going on too. Especially music!

Love, annap
