So, are YOU getting enough silence?
Bumping as a reminder to Self because I'm noticing that I'm seeking to AVOID sitting in silence just when I need that the most.
Sitting in that quiet discomfort while all those buried thoughts & emotions just rise higher & higher can feel interminable as well as physically
painful but it's SO important.
I need to remember to create space for this in my life regularly right now & stop filling every minute with ongoing, ever-changing distractions (aka Noise).
