“The universe whispers until it screams, and happy people listen while the call is still quiet.”
– Brianna Wiest
The weeks leading up to Christmas often carry a frenetic energy. The colder weather, the rush to wrap up projects, the endless shopping lists—everything seems to demand our attention at once. It’s easy to find ourselves swept up in the urgency of it all.
We might sense an urge to slow down, a small, quiet voice gently nudging us to step back and recharge. But the world, with its relentless agenda, pulls us forward, demanding: Keep going, keep pushing.
Then, as it often happens, life intervenes. We drop a weight on our toe at the gym (see my picture below) wake up with a stiff neck after too many hours at a screen, or encounter something worse.
Suddenly, everything stops. We have no choice but to rest or pause. The body remembers as they say.
It can feel like the universe has gone from whispering to screaming, forcing us to finally pay attention. And we can’t help but reflect on how often we ignore those subtle signs—our inner guidance system urging us to listen, to care for ourselves.
For many of us, listening to that inner whisper doesn’t come naturally. We thrive on being busy, on the noisy momentum of deadlines and activities. But when we ignore the whispers, life has a way of sending louder signals.
Ancient wisdom across cultures reminds us to look inward, to pay attention to the quiet knowing inside us. Yet, in the rush of modern life, it’s so easy to forget.
As we move through this busy season, let’s remind ourselves to listen while the call is still quiet. It’s in those moments of stillness that we find the clarity and calm we need to truly show up for the people and things we care about most.
Is there something that your inner self has been whispering to you?
