In my 40s, I went on my first silent retreat.Three days. No talking.
It blew my mind.The clarity was unreal.
I couldn’t believe I’d never stopped talking, just to see what happens.
After that, I got curious. I started applying “stop for 3” to everything:
* Stop reading the news.
* Stop checking social.
* Stop worrying about my kids.
* Stop counting calories.
* Stop fixing.
* Stop doubting.
* Stop chasing.
Every time I stopped doing something for three days, I saw more clearly.What mattered. What didn’t.What was running the show.What I was avoiding.
Try it.
Stop one thing. For three days.Not to improve.Not to gain.Just to see.
Be your own experiment.It might change everything.
