How important is it to express our thoughts in spoken words? Ever wondered??? I din't ever until today when doctor suggested at least 48 hours of speechless life to cure swelling on my vocal cords. It seemed pretty "no big deal" when he first said that. But it is hardly 4 hours now and I am starting to feel uneasy already. Almost without speaking a word in 4 hours (when not sleeping of course) is a tough thing to do, I tell you guys!!! phewhh!!
I had heard of Meditations, self hypnoses, self reinvention courses where you are given exercises of keeping mum for a couple of days or so to get inside you, know yourself, make yourself a better person etc etc.. I never knew it could be this tough.
Right now I realize how much time and effort do I waste(?) talking (sometimes - or mostly) crap :) Today I have been resisting and avoiding my temptation to speak out at different situations in office; be it pulling leg of a colleague, some official discussions or just singing along a song. There are noises around in office, the usual ones, phones ringing, people talking on speaker phone (gosh, I hate that noise) , air conditioner, coffee machine, cars honking on road nearby.... But I can feel some weird silence within. I even notice the sound of typing keyboard; am I going nuts here?? :)
I have been chatting on messenger with a friend sitting besides me, with whom I usually have gem of a time with flurry of PJs and fun. I miss that already! :(
But looking at it from a positive perspective, one, i get to have a better throat at the end of this (hopefully); and two, in the meantime I may get some time just with myself because the only place where I can speak out, scream out loud is.... my mind :) otherwise there's that "zip on my lip".
Blog being one of the best ways to express thoughts, here is the post... :)
P.S. : I would suggest, this is worth a try guys. Try not speaking out for a day, I say! ;)
