“Silence is a place of great power and healing.”

Today’s quote is not about the awkward silence you rush in to fill, but the raw honest stillness you keep avoiding.

In that quiet, there is nowhere to hide from yourself. No notification to blame. No distractions to drown in. Just you, your truth, and the uncomfortable beauty of what you really feel.

Most people call it boredom or loneliness and run back to the noise.

But what if that restless edge is your soul clearing its throat? Sit in silence long enough, and it will start telling you what needs to be released, what needs to be forgiven, and what is finally ready to grow.

EXERCISE:
