Most people don't start their day in silence, especially not peaceful, purposeful silence. But it's more like chaos, right? We've all been there. Either chaos internally through our incessant self talk about what we have to do for the day, or what we didn't do yesterday, or chaos externally through stimulation like email or social media, or even just the chaos of, you know, rushing around the house trying to get out the door. Well, whether you choose meditation or prayer or some other form of silence, spending time unplugged, disconnected and in silence can improve your focus, your productivity and your creativity.
