Maybe turn off the background noise
As someone who is often listening to a podcast, or music, or watching a show while doing chores…this quote below struck me hard.
Some homes have a soundtrack all day long. A podcast while getting ready. Music while working. TV while eating. A video while cleaning. None of this is inherently wrong. But constant noise trains your mind to avoid silence. And silence is where you notice what you actually feel. Leave space for your own voice.
Maybe you are like me, maybe you aren’t. But I think I need to create space for more silence in my life. You likely would benefit from it too.
