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 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.
