How do you use the power of silence?
Silence may be defined as the interval between a sensation and a reaction. Take a silent moment before responding calmly and wisely. It improves with practice. If quiet is something you rarely experience or even fear, focus on things that will help you practice. For example, you could try imagining how it would feel to be silent. Use this time to think about what you want to say, but don't say it yet. This gives your brain time to process what has happened and create a response. The more you use this technique, the easier it will become to keep conversations going without saying anything at all!
