Podcast Summary
Taking a Moment of Silence for Peace and Calmness: Incorporate 30 seconds of silence into your day for peace, calmness, and stress reduction. Try breathing exercises during the silence for added relaxation.
Taking a moment of silence in the midst of a busy day can bring peace and calmness. During a podcast recording in Manchester, the interviewer decided to record 30 seconds of silence, or "wild track," to use later in the edit process. At first, it felt awkward, but soon everyone involved found themselves leaning in and appreciating the quiet. The ladies present even commented that it was the loveliest, most peaceful moment. The interviewer suggested doing breathing exercises during the silence, and they all agreed it was a nice idea. So, when things get hectic, try taking 30 seconds for yourself to enjoy the quiet. This simple act can help reduce stress and bring a sense of calm to your day. Remember, silence is not something to be afraid of or avoided, but rather, an opportunity to recharge and refocus. So, take a deep breath, press pause on the chaos, and give yourself 30 seconds of peace. You deserve it.
