This week Melissa talks about how creating space every day for silence has made it easier for her to weather bad news cycles and stressful social media environments in world where it feels like everyone is shouting and nobody is listening.
Creating space for silence and embracing that silence can act as a reset button when all of the noise and the stress gets to be too much. But how do you find silence when it feels like noise and movement is there to greet us at every turn. The good news is, you only need to find it for a moment or two. But when you do make space for it, you have to let it wash over you and allow yourself to be in the silence
