Get Quiet: How to Find Out Where You Are Really Going

We’re
living
in
frenetic
times.
Amid
all
the
busyness
and
the
FOMO,
you
may
also
feel
directionless
and
overwhelmed.
Maybe
you
know
there’s
more
to
life,
but
you
have
no
idea
what
that
“more”
is.
Maybe
you
sense
there’s
a
message
you
need
to
hear,
but
the
noise
of
everyday
life
is
drowning
it
out.

In
our
latest
episode
of

The
Small
Business
Radio,
I
talked
with

Elaine
Glass,
coach,
healer,
and
author
of
the
transformative
book
“Get
Quiet:
Seven
Simple
Paths
to
the
Truth
of
Who
You
Are”.
In
the
interview,
we
explored
the
challenges
of
finding
stillness
in
today’s
hyper-connected
society.
Elaine
pointed
out
that
our
lives
are
louder
and
busier
than
ever,
thanks
to
so
many
electronic
devices
and
apps
at
our
fingertips.
This
constant
connectivity
has
blurred
the
lines
between
work
and
home,
leaving
us
with
little
room
to
discover
who
we
truly
are.

The
Addiction
to
Distraction

We
discussed
the
idea
that
many
of
us
have
become
addicted
to
distraction.
It’s
as
if
we’re
uncomfortable
with
silence,
and
in
those
quiet
moments,
we
seek
out
noise
to
fill
the
void.
Elaine
emphasized
the
importance
of
contemplative
learning,
where
the
magic
of
life
unfolds.
She
differentiates
between
being
alone
and
loneliness,
highlighting
that
solitude
can
be
a
magical
experience
when
we
embrace
it
as
an
opportunity
to
connect
with
our
inner
selves.

The
Transformative
Power
of
Walking
Meditation

Elaine
introduced
us
to
the
concept
of
walking
meditation,
a
practice
that
combines
movement
with
mindfulness,
allowing
for
creativity
to
flourish.
As
a
small
business
owner,
I’ve
found
that
being
alone
with
my
thoughts
is
a
challenge,
but
it’s
also
where
the
seeds
of
innovation
start.
Elaine’s
approach
to
walking
meditation,
particularly
through
the
use
of
a
labyrinth,
resonated
with
me.
I
shared
my
own
experience
with
a
labyrinth
in
my
backyard
in
Arizona,
which
has
become
a
sanctuary
for
reflection
and
connection.

Seven
Simple
Paths
to
Self-Discovery

Elaine
walked
us
through
the
seven
simple
paths
outlined
in
her
book,
starting
with
nurturing
your
body.
She
stressed
the
importance
of
paying
attention
to
our
physical
well-being
as
a
gateway
to
understanding
ourselves
better.
We
also
touched
on
the
need
to
declutter
our
lives,
from
physical
possessions
to
toxic
relationships,
to
make
room
for
creativity
and
growth.

The
Challenge
of
Letting
Go

One
of
the
most
profound
discussions
we
had
was
about
the
difficulty
of
letting
go
of
people
who
hold
us
back.
Elaine
advised
that
when
we
find
ourselves
making
excuses
for
others
or
feeling
unsupported,
it’s
time
to
reevaluate
those
relationships.
She
reminded
us
that
we
attract
what
we
vibrate,
and
by
raising
our
own
frequency
through
self-transformation,
we
can
find
our
tribe
of
like-minded
individuals.

Embracing
Change
and
Inner
Work

Change
is
daunting,
but
it’s
necessary
for
growth.
Elaine’s
insights
on
the
first
steps
to
embracing
change
were
invaluable.
She
encouraged
us
to
be
honest
with
ourselves
about
the
areas
in
our
lives
that
need
transformation
and
to
take
action
towards
a
more
authentic
and
expressive
existence.
