Losing your voice can be a major concern when you are in the business of speaking. Endoscopy confirmed strain on the nodules on my vocal cords. Besides medication, doctor recommended rest for the voice.
In our world where everyone is talking, silence is a virtue. Keeping silent doesn't mean not contributing; sometimes, it's the most powerful thing you can do.
Silence gives you time to think before speaking. You hear more when you're not talking. Silence can avoid unnecessary conflict as it is a form of self-control.
We know that silence is the best choice when we are angry or upset or when we don't have all the facts or when we are unsure of what to say. Of course, it is basic etiquette when someone else is speaking.
We must choose to inculcate the practice of silence. We can start small by taking a few seconds before responding. We must opt to enjoy quiet moments of mindfulness with nature, reading and listening. And keep choosing periods of silence finding other ways to communicate.
Listen with care and mindful eyes
Discover power in silent surprise!
