So this week I am have been observing increased silence, not total silence, but increased silence and I must say its been remarkable. The amount of trouble I have avoided by just keepnig quiet is incredible. People leave me alone, no one bothered me, I was just calm, quiet and collected. It was amazing. All I did was thought before speaking; “Will this help anyone?” If not, then i kept quiet, if Yes, then I would say it.
Simple as that.
Ok so this week I am following Charity, much harder to fit into your daily routine me thinks but none the less I shall try my hardest and I will update you all in a week!

Silence is so relaxing. I love just sitting to think. Do you think you gained anything from observing increased silence?
For Charity you could simply empty all the loose change out of your pockets/wallet each day and put it in a jar. At the end of the week find a charity box in a shop and put all the money in. You could also do charitable work, like offering to help someone. Another idea is go threw all your old clothes and donate the stuff you never wear to a charity shop.
