How To Practice Mindful Silence in Everyday Life
- Make time for yourself every day . Carve out when you can be alone and unplugged, whether for a few minutes or an hour. Meditate, journal, read, or sit with your thoughts — whatever helps you find peace within yourself.

- Pay attention to your body and feelings . Make sure you take a few moments every day to check in with yourself, noting any physical sensations or emotions that come up as you go about your day.
