Sometimes it is important to say nothing.
I didn't say do nothing. There's a difference.
Saying nothing is truly an art. Not everyone can do it. Try it for 10 minutes. Be alone with yourself. Listen to your breathing, your heartbeat, the voices in your head. Meditate.
How does it feel?
You can use this technique when you're stressed, when you're too tired to sleep, or when you can't think because your life is so hectic. Maybe your boss has added one more item for you to complete before your day is done. Maybe your kids have you going in ten different directions at once, or maybe you find yourself wondering what you should do first from one of your never-ending to do lists. Stop. Say nothing. Breathe.
You can do this when you're alone or when you're in the middle of a crowd.
It might just keep you from saying something. And saying nothing is sometimes a really good thing.
It's an art.
