Silence can create a safe space where you can become a better version of yourself. Thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence."
I believe that Wayne Dyer said that "Everything that’s created comes out of silence. That's okay! Those voices may provide you with insight that could lead to a breakthrough. Then again, a lot of us really can't silence our minds for too long right? Sometimes the voices in our head can be heard more clearer when you tune down the external noise. That isn't the case! Buying into this mindset is a road many have taken and it only ends in burnout or heartbreak. We believe that we need to ask for permission to have a moment for ourselves, where we can "rejuvenate, recuperate, restore, reset". A Moment of SilenceĪllowing yourself to take a break - a moment of silence - is such an important decision that many of us don't think we actually have. Silence, as it turns out, can play an integral part in creating an environment of safety, either for yourself or for others. On a poll on whether silence was still valuable to us in today's society that I set up on Twitter, the answer was an overwhelming YES ! As the conversations branched out into various perspectives on what silence meant, a theme emerged. It was clear that silence was a valuable aspect of indigenous societies. In other indigenous cultures, silence was a way of expressing oneself fully and to accentuate the message that an individual was giving. Our ancestors believed that silence was just as important to a conversation as words were. With that in mind, I thought that it would be an appropriate time to discuss what silence - or as the iTaukei called it, Vakanomodi - has to offer us.
It goes like this: To stay sane in a mad world is the real victory.
A quote that I thought embodies this need comes from Marty Rubin (author of The Boiled Frog Syndrome). While the business world continues to buckle under market uncertainty, the need to focus on keeping ourselves sane has grown.
