The Power of Silence
Let's reconsider the use of silence. The absence of sound or noise, stillness. Nowadays, people use silence as a weapon of anger and destruction by removing their presence in the form of ghosting, blocking, deleting and casting out individuals in their lives that displease them. There are people and situations in our lives that need to be silent for the purpose of clarity and to declutter the mind and space of people and things that are hindering growth. Instead, people use silence as a form of punishment, a weapon of mental and emotional torment. The act of abrupt silence leaves the targeted party numb and disoriented and the sole purpose is to crush them. And to add insult to injury you brag about cutting people off. Question for my listeners if you or someone you know has practice silence in the manner that you hope will make your a winner
I am here to inform you that there is power and healing in silence. Used in the proper manner the art of being still and removing the noise that clouds our judgment, drowning out the inner voices that are trying to connect with you. The power of silence allows you to again clear vision because your discretion kicks in. Have you ever watched Spider Man and how he uses his senses? When he senses danger or makes a decision on a path to take, he gets still, stops moving to get clarity. This analysis may seem silly to use but if you take a moment to use the process of critical thinking about being stillness void of noise to hear your thoughts clearly. Silence means you can sense danger when chaos, confusion and other voices cloud your judgment when you're trying to make an informed decision about your life.
Deleting, blocking and ghosting people doesn't solve the problem. That's a band aid solution. When you take the Band-Aid off before the wound heals it may get infected then you have another problem.I agree that there are times when there is a need to remove ourselves from situations and people family included because It is the misconception that you should not detach from family, I beg to differ. When any individual is causing you harm, getting still through the use of silence is a powerful method to seek clarity. Getting still through the act of Silence means disconnecting from the people, places and things that are not helping you to gain clarity. Silence means stop talking about the situation and cease seeking advice for others. Getting still means that you set boundaries, you shut down for the sake of your mental and emotional well-being.
Whatever the situation is between you, them, he, she, or us it is not going to be solved by anger and blocking. Who are you deleting and ghosting out of your life? Silence should serve a positive purpose in your life when practiced in the correct manner. When you decide to go silent, tell the people or persons involved what the situation is and why you feel the need to get still by detaching not out of anger but out of necessity. Be prepared for the individuals who are involved in the situation that you need to detach from lack of understanding this is not your issue. When you have made yourself clear about the need for space and time to practice stillness, to remove yourself from the chaos and noise from the situation, you don't owe further explanation.
The practice of silence is something you do for you. There is a saying that once a person stops talking this means that they have had enough. When people stop talking and choose to move in silence this act means they are contemplating their next move. Silence doesn't have to be practiced out of rage. Anger may have led you to silence but through the practice of stillness and reflection you will discover something new about yourself and how to work through difficult situations.
