In today’s noisy world, silence is uncomfortable. Most of us rarely, if

ever, experience true silence. We listen to podcasts when exercising, listen

to  music  when  commuting,  and  interrupt  work  with  a  chat  or  two  with

colleagues.

Silence  is  uncomfortable,  because  it  means  there  are  no  outside

distractions:  it’s  just  you  and  your  thoughts.  Silence  in  a  conversation  is

even  more  uncomfortable  because  there’s  an  unspoken  rule  that  when

people have nothing to talk about, they should come up with any topic just

to  avoid  an  awkward  silence  that  might  require  them  to  become  fully

present and aware of how they really feel.

Since silence can bring so much discomfort, it can be a potent tool to

improve your self-control.

First, sitting in silence and listening to your inner thoughts without any

external  distractions  can  help  you  slow  down  and  analyze  your  recent

decisions  or  assess  how  well  you’re  doing  with  your  new  goals.  Try  to

spend at least five minutes a week in silence and  you’ll  be  surprised  how

much valuable feedback you can retrieve from within you.

As  a  second  strategy,  embrace  silence  in  a  conversation.  No,  I  don’t

mean  that  you  should  make  the  conversation  weird  by  deliberately  not

saying  anything.  I  refer  to  using  silence  as  an  exercise  in  improving  your

self-control when dealing with other people.

For  example,  try  the  following  challenge  for  one  day:  when  talking

with  somebody  who  has  a  different  opinion  than  you  do,  resist  the



temptation to immediately attack them and instead listen silently until they

have fully presented their arguments. You will have positioned yourself for

a  more  intelligent  participation  in  the  conversation,  simply  because  you

took the time to listen carefully to what the other person said.

Another exercise is to practice self-control by using fewer words. For

one day, focus on listening to the other person. Ask as many questions as

you  can  to  maintain  an  interesting  conversation  and  resist  the  urge  to

comment or share too many of your opinions.

Both of these exercises will train you to be more focused on the other

person and less impulsive during a conversation.
