"Stop for a moment and listen to the sounds you hear around you. Do you hear the chatter of people talking?
The sound of a phone chiming? How about nothing? In our busy lives, experiencing silence is rare, but finding
it can help you understand yourself, think more deeply, and be more creative. Spending time in silence allows
room for self reflection, allowing you to analyze your thoughts and consider how you are feeling. Problems can
be solved more easily and opinions formed more thoroughly by thinking about them deeply. Without this
important time for reflection, it is difficult for critical thinking to occur. Also, time in silence allows your brain
tO rest, giving this vital organ time to restore. Giving your brain 'down-time' leads to an docreased ability to
process information and improves your memory. Creativity thrives on silence and, surprisingly, on boredom.
Quiet spaces without distractions or entertainment allow your brain the
space it needs to invent
new ideas,
leading to everything from business innovations to a vibrant violin concerto. Take a few moments sometime
soon to get out in nature or find a quiet spot in your home. Seek it out and you (and your brain) will reap the
benefits."
