5 Sounds You Don't Want to Miss

Have you ever had the experience of getting into your car first

thing in the morning and when you turn the radio on, the music is

blasting? Funny that it didn't seem that loud when you turned

the radio off the night before. That's because as the day wears

on you adapt to the noise level.

Sound can be both an enemy and an ally. Often we pay attention to

the loudest sounds and allow them to distract and annoy us. We

also tend to miss out on some of the more subtle ones. But it's

those quieter, calmer sounds that offer you some of the best

information, insight and relaxation.

Here are 5 sounds you don't want to miss:

1. Music

Do you enjoy a wide range of music or do you tend to play the

same artists over and over? Music doesn't have to be simply

entertainment. It's a great tool you can use to impact your mood

and energy level. Expand your music library to include a variety

of genres. Use upbeat music when you have chores to do. Use

classical music for relaxation. Find songs that resonate with you

and use them to reconnect with your priorities and values.

2. Nature

People are hardwired to connect with nature. We have an inherent

desire to create bonds with other living things. Tuning into

nature's sounds lets you build a deeper connection with the

natural world. Sit in your yard or go for a walk and just listen.

You can also find CDs that have nature sounds with or without

music.

3. Silence

How often in your day do you experience silence - no TV, no

radio, no traffic, no chatter? Sometimes people are scared of

silence but what you will likely find is the more you create

silent spaces in your day, the more comfortable you become with

them. When you are silent, you are better able to hear other

sounds, like your own breathing, your internal chatter, or subtle

sounds in your environment. It's in this silent space that

greater self connection and grounding is possible.

4. Your Inner Critic

Your inner critic is probably a sound that you are quite familiar

with so it might seem surprising that it's on the list of sounds

not to miss. It's important to hear when your inner critic is

chattering. It gives you some great insight into the ways you are

holding yourself back. They key is to hear it and not necessarily

heed it. Just notice when and where your inner critic speaks the

loudest.

5. Your Spirit's Voice

Unlike your inner critic, your spirit's voice may be one you

have not heard for a long time. That's often because the inner

critic has been making so much noise you can't hear anything

else. Or it could be that you don't have a quiet space in your

day during which you can access that voice. You'll know when you

are listening to your spirit's voice because it always has your

best interests at heart. It's a voice of compassion,

encouragement, courage and great wisdom.
