What is an exercise of silence and why is it important?

An exercise of silence is when you take time out of your day to sit in total silence. You focus on clearing all thoughts and feelings from your mind and appreciate the silence. Silence is powerful and creates a calming effect. We all lead very busy lives, so an exercise of silence can have a dramatic effect on stress and relaxation.

I want to encourage you to incorporate the exercise of silence into your day. It can be for 5 minutes or longer if you would like. You can experience silence at home, at work, or anywhere you choose. It is best if you choose a place that is quiet so that you can fully incorporate silence. But it is also helpful when you are in a stressful place, such as work. Clearing your mind even while everything around you is hectic can allow you to regroup, relieve stress, and leave you feeling calm.

Silence is important because it allows you to block out everything around you, which is often negative. It can also free you from negative thoughts and stressful situations. An exercise of silence is powerful because it creates positive vibrations. When you close your eyes and focus on silence, it is as if a bubble forms around you, closing you off to all things negative. Meanwhile, your body creates positive energy and starts filling that bubble. This is a powerful technique that can help you shift from negative and stressful thoughts, to positive and powerful thoughts.

If you do not already incorporate an exercise of silence into your daily routine, I encourage you to do so. It has helped me become a more positive and confident person and I think you will notice major changes in your life!
