I didn’t realize how much noise I lived in until I tried 1 minute of intentional silence. At first it felt strange, almost uncomfortable. But as I breathed and just listened to nothing, I felt a shift. My shoulders relaxed. My thoughts slowed. It was like pressing pause on the chaos. That one minute became something I now crave every day.
