W.A.I.T

The power of WAIT

W A I T

Learning the power in silence is difficult. We're innately sound creating creatures. When we're frightened we scream, when we're joyful we laugh, we nervously bumble over words and sing at the top of our voices when our favourite tune comes on. Unless we're having a quiet meditative moment, in general silence can be difficult for humans. 

In conflict it can be incredibly difficult. We always want the last word and sometimes to the detriment of ourselves.

But try it, find ease in it. 

Next time you're in a heated argument after you have made your statement, don't make any more excuses or elaborations just leave it. 

When you're negotiating make your point and wait for an answer, don't apologise for what you have offered. Stay silent.

Mentally walk away like a politician who has made their final statement.

Think

WAIT

Why Am I Still Talking?
