What if we took time to simply think?

Hey everyone, it’s Kindra!

So I’ve decided to do a “what if…” theme for my blog where I’ll be asking hypothetical questions that will hopefully leave you thinking and possibly spark a conversation among you and your friends. For example, “What if we lived in a different country,” or “what if we could switch genders for a day.” I will then present my own opinions and thoughts on the question.  The main point of these imaginary situations is to make you think. It may sound lame, but I came up with the idea because of my BiSci 003 class. BiSci 003 really stresses the art of asking questions and thinking. My own thinking has lead me to create this blog topic as well as the questions I will be asking. So, here goes my first “what if…” question for you all…

What if we took more time to sit down and simply think?

Think about it; you set aside a short period of time each day to do nothing but think. No distractions, no noise, just pure thinking. This would be a foreign experience for most of us. We live our lives according to a pattern and following a specific schedule, never taking time to sit down and just think about our lives. Personally, I feel as though genuine thinking has and will lead me to discover who I truly am. I believe that others would feel intimidated by thinking. Some may go insane in the silence while they allow their thoughts to run wild. Would you think about the first thing that comes to mind, or would you think more deeply? Do you think you could benefit from taking time out of your day to think? Would you ever actually try to set aside time for thinking? Where would your thinking lead you?
