This has been a very quick moving week and semester. I have learned so much about myself and how we relate to others through this last two weeks of readings in the other classes.
The excerpt that was posted about silence was interesting and true. I believe that so many times, we don't take the time to sit in silence and t allow an internal process to happen. There is much activity going on when there is silence.
I have experienced so much revelation through being quiet, taking walks by myself and when driving in the car by myself. It is a necessity of life to allow this to be part of our experience on a regular basis.
I bele3ive that we have the answers with inside of us to our own lives. If we search for an answer or solution, we can generally get the answer internally if we wait and listen for the answer.
I have experienced this many times. Such as, I keep making the same choice over and over which is not serving my greatest good. Or I keep reacting to a situation the same way when i want to change it. If I ask myself, why am I doing this or reacting this way, I almost always get the answer when I and being silent. Sometimes it takes a few hours and sometimes a couple days, but it always comes when I am being silent. And it always relates to something in the past that is triggering my responses. Once I am aware of the reason, I am able to work towards changing it.
I believe this is a great way to empower clients to look inside themselves for the answer. They they will continue to do this once our services are no longer needed.
I am looking forward to learning more about myself through these classes. The more I learn about myself, the better I will be able to serve my clients. :)
Hi Susanne, Great Post! I understand how you relate silence to self-care. Your right about sharing this with clients. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI also seem to learn about myself and what I am able to accomplish when I am quiet. In our daily lives we seem to rush rush rush but when I can just sit and be quiet it helps to relax, some would call it meditate, and think about what is going on in my life.
