We hear voices from everywhere – it’s become so loud: thoughts, opinions, images – they pour in on us endlessly. Everywhere, people are speaking, sharing, judging. Even the suffering of others finds its way into our feeds, as if it were forcing us to resonate with it. On social media, in conversations, in the news – everything wants to be seen, heard, and felt. And while it seems that everyone knows what’s right or wrong, what should happen next we often lose touch with the only place where true clarity resides:

our inner space.

Information vs self-care

We don’t need to know everything, and we don’t need to have an opinion about everything. Not every piece of news, not every opinion, not every drama needs our mind, our attention, our energy. Distancing ourselves is not a sign of ignorance – it is an act of self-care. Because our nervous system is not built to carry the suffering of the world every day. And our heart is not made to get lost in all the noise.

We are allowed to choose what we let in. We are allowed to decide when silence is more important than information. And we are allowed to remember: Truth is not born outside – but within. Reconnecting with your inner space again and again is not retreating from the world. It is arriving within yourself – a moment of gentle attention and care for you.

Talent is formed in stillness, character in the stream of the world.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Power of Routines

That’s exactly why our daily routines are so valuable. They offer us orientation when everything is loud, and they bring us back into connection with ourselves.

A mindful morning routine with gentle yoga and meditation not only prepares your body but also your mind for the day ahead. In the evening, a conscious ritual can help you unwind – perhaps through some relaxing stretches, a calming self-care routine, lying on an acupressure mat, and a moment of stillness, just for you. And even in between, at work, when everything becomes too loud again, conscious breathing can guide you back into your inner space.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Arrive.
I let go.
Everything may be quiet for a moment.

Such small affirmations are more than just words. They are gentle signposts back to yourself. When the outside noise becomes too much, they can remind you where your inner space lies – and that you may return there anytime.

Namaste,
Karin
