In a world today where finding a place to sit down and enjoy the comfort of silence is becoming harder to find. At work the noise level can be of many things from the radio to the sounds that come from the computers. There is all types of noise at home as well from the TV to the sounds of white noise.
What is missing is those moments when you are sitting in silence down by the lake or in your backyard. These times are when you are able to destress from the day. Maybe it is when you are on your way home from work. At these times can be used for reflections on the day that was. Without a comfortable silence our lives would feel like that we are losing our minds.
These breaks come at different time for everyone. If your house is busy with children coming and going all day, the quick time could very well be when you go to bed or in the early morning. If you are single that time can happen any time.
Being alone with your thoughts is what a comfortable silence is. To separate yourself from the title that you hold as a person back to being you. There is some that say that once you master this feeling, the more you want to stay there. You have your responsibilities throughout the day and you can not stop them. It becomes a balancing act and when you have figured out how to manage it your life will take on a whole new meaning.
With a simple breathing exercise and five minutes of your time you can feel better. All you have to do is slow your breathing by taking some deep breaths. Any time you hear something during this time label it sound and with each breath out allow your body to relax. The silence will become part of the time during this process and you will find yourself as you truly are and in comfort.
You may find your silence in other ways and it is up to you to find the way you do it. In all ways when we are able to be comfortable in our own body, we find those people that you can sit with for hours without saying a word. This is when the silence is loved even though you are not talking.
Stay safe.
