Take the day and resolve to stay in the silence. Set a time limit of hours. If a day seems too long.
During the selected time period, listen, really listen to those around you. Hear their conversations without responding or with judgment. Keep a notepad with you and write your concerns to what's said to you. Keepnotes on words and meaning as they float in dialogues around you.
I you feel the urge to speak say to yourself, "Write it don't say it." Then write it with vigor.
Remember, when you feel a response coming from your lips, write it instead of verbalizing. Smile and do not engage in commentary. See what happens.
How long can you accomplish your listening skills? Can you stay in the silence without spoken statements and express yourself in written words?
You will discover humor along the way.
Enjoy your day in silence.
