Find Some Quiet

Find Some Quiet

When we listen to the subtle messages and gentle suggestions, we can find both beauty and strength

In a noisy, crowded room, engaging in a conversation can be challenging. Instead of yelling, which can strain your voice and contribute to the commotion, it’s more effective to lean close to the person you want to communicate with and whisper. This strategy allows your voice to carry better in the noisy environment, making it easier for the person to hear you without raising your volume excessively. As a former teacher assistant and substitute the “LEAN IN AND WHISPER” worked every time! 🙂

Within us, all exists a gentle, quiet voice that doesn’t try to overpower the noisy mental chatter on the surface of our minds or drown out the clamor of the external world. Regardless of our surroundings or internal turmoil, we can always tune into this soft voice beneath the racket of noise if we wish to hear it.

Often, the dominant voices in our minds that convey messages of fear or anxiety are not entirely reliable. These voices may originate from childhood experiences or cultural influences and may only offer partial truths.

The urgency of some voices arises from their separation from the core of our existence. This urgency captures our attention. In contrast, another voice quietly whispers reassurance, conveying that everything is essentially okay. When we hear this voice, we recognize its truthfulness. Typically, after listening to its message, a profound sense of tranquility envelops us, and the once-dominant other voices and sounds recede into the background, appearing insignificant and distant.

As we delve into the world, our interactions may be affected by a tranquil assurance, a whisper of truth that pervades like the rustling of leaves in the wind. This whisper encourages us to prioritize our connection to this truth, steering us away from idle chatter. Embracing this quiet confidence, we become conduits of this whisper, transcending the noise of the world and fostering an atmosphere of peace, trust, and confidence. The first action to take is to get off of social media . . . For you! Find some quiet in this chaotic space.

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl ♥

Where Is Your Self-Worth?

Where is your self-worth?

Excessive apologizing may indicate a lack of self-worth and low self-esteem.

In social interactions, apologizing is a common courtesy that maintains politeness. While it’s beneficial, excessive apologizing for everything warrants introspection. It’s crucial to understand the underlying reasons behind the constant urge to utter “I’m sorry” to gain clarity and make necessary adjustments.

When confronted with a situation that has gone awry, expressing regret through the words “I’m sorry” implies accountability for one’s actions. Whether it’s negotiating parking spots, navigating crowded supermarket aisles, or reaching for desired items, there are instances where an apology is appropriate. However, there are also times when a simple “excuse me” better reflects the nature of the encounter.

“Saying ‘sorry’ can sometimes feel like you’re giving the other person more importance than yourself. Of course, sometimes it’s just a harmless way to chill things down. But if you find yourself apologizing all the time, it might be worth digging deeper and figuring out why that is. If it’s a habit, breaking it might just take a little mindfulness and practice.”

To begin the process of reducing your apologies, start by observing yourself throughout your day. Pay attention to each instance when you apologize, without judging yourself. Initially, you may be surprised to notice how frequently you apologize, perhaps more than you realize. After a day or two of observation, focus on understanding the feelings you experience immediately before apologizing.

During confrontations, you may experience a range of emotions like feeling threatened, embarrassed, or overwhelmed by intense anxiety. Instead of immediately reacting with words, take a moment to pause and simply acknowledge the feeling that arises. It might be a familiar emotion from your childhood that has persisted over time. The more you recognize and accept these feelings, the less likely you will be to carry the burden of regret.

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl

Chanel Miller is the kind of young lady that will motivate you to do the right in a wrong.

I wish I had this brave young lady to listen to when I met my monster in the night, she would have empowered me to do the right in a wrong and not sit in my garden of shame and quilt. That’s what I did, what other woman did in the past. We would set up our “silent garden” where we cultivated our shame in silence not telling anyone of the hurt that was put upon us. When you suffer in silence it keeps the secret alive, but once you tell the TRUTH it’s like cutting a major artery . . . it can’t live.

Peace & Harmony

“You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will live as one”
