85. What I Learned from Being STILL, and Why You Need SILENCE in Your Life

YES MUJER BUILD IT

Over the weekend, I attended a three-day silent retreat. No phones, no laptops, no talking, no interaction. And did you know what happened to me during this time? Through the Silence, I heard my true voice. It felt so good to let go of all the outside noise. Through being STILL, I discovered calm, beauty, and self-love.
In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It podcast episode, I discuss the value of stillness and being silent. We spend so much time in the DOING of our work, careers, family, and personal goals that we often forget (or don’t know how) to be still and just BE. When you are still, you can actually connect with ‘Source’ energy. Source energy can go by many names, but ultimately, it is the energy you can tap into at any given moment because it is always with you. You just have to be still to find it. If being still is hard to do, then consider moments of awareness where you are mindful during the activity you are doing.
During my time at the Silent Retreat, I had many awakenings. Most of them came from the mindfulness that opened up when I was still, like mindfulness around eating and food. I also noticed nature more and felt moments of extreme connection to everything around me. This Source energy is available to you also. Take a deep breath and connect with it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why we need stillness every day
• Why balancing stillness and activity is crucial for overall well-being
• How connecting with Source energy can bring us clarity
• How you can practice mindfulness in different ways, like when you are having your morning coffee
• How doing less and being more leads to peace
• How stillness can help us connect to who we really are
