The longer someone is bullied, the more likely they are to develop physical, emotional, and psychological scars that can last a lifetime.

The four most common types of bullying are: Verbal, Social, Physical and Cyber Bullying.

Bullying can be devastating, leaving a person withdrawn, shy, and insecure. It can trigger a variety of stress-related illnesses, cause relationship difficulties, and upset productivity and engagement.

Unrelenting bullying can lead a person to take their own life.

A study conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute, found that 37% of workers have been bullied, and that the majority of bullies were people in positions of authority.

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.”  Anne Frank

Studies show that even low-level chronic noise increases aggression and decreases cooperation and is associated with increased risk for peptic ulcers, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

Today is the day to lower the noise level. Being quiet reduces your stress.

It allows the mind to focus and be more creative. It can boost your immune system.

Building Resiliency and Celebrating Quiet Day:

Breathe: Become aware of your breath and inhale and exhale slowly and deeply inhale for 5 minutes.

Try this meditation: Turn off the lights, light a small candle and watch the flame. This stills the optic nerve, and calms the nervous system.

At work, take advantage of a quiet room.  Many companies have developed quiet spaces where employees can take a moment or two during the working day to relax, have a break, meditate, pray or simply ‘take stock’ without the distractions and interruptions of office life.

Get out into nature:  Taking a walk along a park path or country road early in the morning or before bed can bring focus and serenity to one’s mind.
