Being silent allows you to declutter your thought process.
Last year, the world went into lockdown and our lives changed dramatically. “I’m so tired” was already a status symbol, but burnout and it’s long-lasting impact on our health, has increased. The lines between work and play have blurred.Students have not been back in a physical classroom for more than a year, new graduates are stepping into an economic downturn, and the workforce itself is changing. Even as some regions slowly open up, the pall of uncertainty reigns.
Though my grandfather taught me the practice at a young age, it was many years before I truly learned to appreciate it. After completing my university education in London, I took a gap year to travel through Europe and spent some time in Italy where I stayed at a Franciscan friary for some time. I arrived just before Lent and discovered that the Brothers at the friary would spend the entire 40-day period in silence.
When I first began practicing the Sphere of Silence regularly, some of the earliest changes I noticed within myself came around that 21-day mark.The ground rule, as the name indicates, is to keep complete silence. The entire 60-minute practice must be done with no distractions from the outside world, so switch off all your devices and find a quiet spot away from others. Have a journal and a pen ready. Also, pick up a book you’ve been meaning to read for a while and set it near you.
Use the final 10 minutes to take note of any unmet goals and assess the reasons why you have not achieved them. The events of tomorrow develop from what you do today, so understanding yesterday is the key to shaping tomorrow.This is when you pick up that book you bought many moons ago but never got around to reading. The ground rule for this segment is to choose a book that teaches you new things and enriches your mind.
