    Silence is the best medicine for relieving stress and there are some advantages too.

    Many people across the world suffer from anxiety during some periods of their life which could sometimes turn serious if not addressed immediately. Although experts suggest various ways to destress, I believe by not losing your patience and being silent for at least a few minutes could help you to come out of the situation in a jiffy. For example, when some drivers are caught up in traffic jams, they get tensed and lose their calm. Under such situations, they should remain silent and wait patiently for the traffic to ease out.
    In addition, your mind becomes calm which helps you to maintain good relationship with your family, friends and relatives. For instance, I have noticed that a few families reach the peak of stress early in the morning when most of them go out of their houses either to their work place, schools or colleges. They blame each other for getting late and get into useless arguments. This results in the whole day turning negative and makes them lose their energy.

    Instead of arguing, if they do not talk and carry on with their work silently not only the day would be good but also the whole house will end up getting positive energy which I feel is good for the family as well as the society as they would also interact with the public when they step out of their houses.

    The saga of the paragraphs mentioned above is by being silent when you are stressed out , you can make yourself and people around you destressed easily and can make the world a far more better place to live in.

    It is said that speech is silver silence is gold. There is a lot of wisdom hidden in that saying. Many times in our lives we become agitated, excited, angry, and offensive to others just on a falling of the hat.
    It is not easy to control our anger or anguish on anything happening around us but if we could do that successfully then that itself is the greatest form of meditation and self control.
    I remember when I was a child one of my uncles used to keep silence once a week for the whole day. At that time is looked funny to me as he was talking to family members just by signs and signals but today I realise that he was doing it to practice the meditation in its best form.
    By keeping silent we can avoid many embarassing situations in our lives and come out of them as a winner. Not an easy thing to achieve but once practiced one can reap the benefits throughout one's life.

    Knowledge is power.

    People who are having anxiety may not be able to keep silent. Their mind will go on shunting them to do something because of its anxiety and they will break the silence. So they require a lot of practice for inculcating the habit of silence. For that they may have to do go for meditation or yoga.
    Silence is the best for many. Your silence will avoid confrontation with others and you can avoid enmity. Only when you start talk or argue will make somebody enemies. But sometimes our silence will be proved costly. Many times our silence may be taken as our weakness or willingness. So sometimes we may have to make our point clear.
    To remove our stress we may have to divert our mind from the point which is making us anxious and start thinking about some other thing so that we may come out of that anxiety. There are many other ways to kill our anxiety. But anxiety may spoil our health. So one should practice various ways to reduce their anxiety.

    Yes, silence could heal up the broken relationships. Very often, this acts as an important option to strengthen the relationships. Remaining in the silent mode for sometime can allow us to rethink the ways which if applied could be more effective in achieving results. This can be possible only when our mind is calm and can think the entire exercise to be taken to bring out positive results.
    This should not be construed as weakness of our plans but getting some times for the reviews of the earlier stands. If a fresh start is needed, one should go making the points more clear and relevant to impress upon the party.
