Quiet doesn't seem to get high marks in our lives.
Can you remember the last time you were praised for being silent?Maybe in grade school...
When we're quiet, we often assume
that others tend to think the worst about us - or maybe that's only what we think
they're thinking?

DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
WHAT'S YOUR SILENCE TOLERANCE?
Which of the
following fit for you?
* I can sit quietly
and be comfortable with my own silence and that of others.
* If it's quiet too
long I think something's wrong.
* When I'm with
people and there's silence I have to fill it in.
* If someone doesn't
respond to me right away, I get nervous and start chattering or asking questions.
* If there's a lull
in a conversation I tend to think the other person is bored and try to be
entertaining.
* I hate
silence. I always fill it in with
negative thoughts.
