I like to talk and listen to what others say. Still, I love silence.
I usually prefer to be silent than talkative. Why? It is because when I listen to people, I learn. When I speak, I do not acquire a piece of knowledge. Usually, people have interesting things to say. I believe that from each person, we can gain many insights and wisdom. Even if people tell us bullshits, we can still draw many conclusions to grow and develop our mindset. For example, when someone talks bullshit, we can always learn how we should not behave by talking nonsense. Still, since I started doing intermittent fasting and exposing my body to cold, I feel that the best ideas come to my mind while there is silence around me. It is a moment when I talk to myself – deep in my mind.
I believe that many people would name this activity a meditation.
The truth is that I merely shut my mind, body, and soul to external stimuli. I think that I started doing it intuitively. It is not the case that I wanted to meditate, and I googled how to do it. I feel that my body, mind, and soul naturally wished to calm down, to compose and clear my mind in silence. It is a moment when I simultaneously feel that I am right here and right now while I am away from the mundane world.
For me, it is unbelievable that I do not need external factors, including alcohol and drugs, to move my soul away from everything.
Do I get to sleep while doing it? No. I close my eyes, relax, and forget everything for ten to twenty minutes. It is close to the nap, but it is rather daydreaming. Undoubtedly, I feel reinvigorated after doing it. Silence is essential to do it. Ok, I will finish this writing. I will take a nap. Or, maybe, I will just close my eyes and enjoy the silence.
