When was the last time you really sat in silence and felt deep peace within yourself? I'll wait. When was the last time that you sat in silence and just felt deep, complete peace within yourself? Not being distracted by your phone, not numbing yourself with your TV, just you sitting with your thoughts. For many people, it's terrifying. But why is that?

This is how you heal more than anything else. And so what you really start to do as you spend more time alone is you really actually start to rebuild your relationship with yourself.

Or do you criticize yourself constantly? Do you guilt yourself and shame yourself and, you know, beat yourself up? So what could you do? Well, one thing that you could do is, if you want to keep yourself a little bit busy, write to yourself. You can write a letter to yourself. You could journal. Journaling isn't about just, you know, dear diary or about doodling or making pretty pages.

It's about honesty. Write to yourself. Write a letter to yourself. Put your thoughts on a piece of paper. Ask yourself how you're really doing. How are you really doing? And then give yourself a minute to answer that. You can also just sit in stillness. Start with five minutes a day. No distractions, just being. Notice what comes up. Get curious instead of judging.
