The Power of Silence
I am at a point in my life where things are very stressful. I have been told many times over the years I should spend time alone to relax or go out to do something fun. My heart agrees with being told this since I have said it to myself many times. Being stressed with no outlet is not healthy.
I have had stress related illnesses in the past. At times I clench my jaw and/or grind my teeth at night while I sleep. I have often woken up with a tense jaw and neck. At one point in my life, I did it enough to develop a TMJ (temporomandibular) disorder. My jaw became misaligned and I needed physical therapy to loosen my neck muscles.
I learned how to stretch out my neck to keep the muscles from tightening up. One solution to help me lessen my tendency to clench my jaw was discovered through the MKE exercise of doing a sit before going to bed. The power of silence is new to me. I have been less stressed. Over time I have learned to embrace being quiet.
The Week 22 Webinar gave me the answer to something my mind and soul has been yearning for over many years. We learned to find our true self, it has to be discovered through silence. It was also noted to separate yourself from the daily distractions that can turn your attention away from hearing your heart.
This is a much needed journey I need to embark on. It’s up to me to schedule it, prepare and do it if I want to find who I am and have an honest discussion with the gal in the glass.
“To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.” – Deepak Chopra
