When There’s Nothing To Say

We’re here on the Get Vocal Blog, where I’m adamantly telling you that the words you say become the fuel for your life. 

While this is absolutely true, what about the times when there’s nothing to say — when you can’t even formulate the words or sentences for what’s going on? When you need time to process?

These times could be when something really terrible happens. It could also be when something really good happens. 

Let it be just what it is — a time of resting in the silence. 

When there’s nothing to say — you don’t have to force yourself to say something just to “be polite”. 

When there’s nothing to say — is not the time to vomit word-salad just to take up space. 

When there’s nothing to say — respect the silence. Respect the rest. Respect whatever the situation is and your part in it, good or bad. 

When there’s nothing to say — say nothing. Say less. Speak with intention.

That’s the whole point of voice work: reliant intention. Training yourself to become anchored into a walk that aligns with your talk. 

When there’s nothing to say — rest in the truth.
