Hello, everyone, Welcome back tothe Be Better Bait Bye Bait podcast.
I am Goel and today we areexploring a topic that's often overlooked but is
immensely powerful. Silence. It's notjust about escaping noise. It's about finding
(00:28):
a peaceful space in and with ourminds and lives. So what is silence?
Silence is more than the absence ofsound. It's a quiet space where
we can listen to our inner voice. It's like stepping into this calm room
away from all the chaos and thenbeing able to listen to your own heartbeats.
(00:53):
That's the gift of silence. Ina place like Mumbai where I live,
everything is moving fast and then findinga quiet moment is like finding a
treasure. That's why I love myearly mornings. It's my time to sit
quietly, maybe by a window,with my journals and then just breathe.
(01:15):
The city is still sleeping, andthat's why it's my time with my thoughts.
These quiet moments are like a secretmeeting which I have with myself.
In these times, I think aboutwhat's going on, how I feel,
what I want, et cetera,etche and it's amazing what I'm able to
(01:36):
hear when I am only listening.Friends, let me share a thought from
Mathma Gandhi, who once said,in the attitude of silence, the soul
finds the path in a clearer light. It's a profound thought. Gandhi,
along with many famous personalities, havespoken about the power of silence. Like
(01:57):
Steve Jobs, the visionary behind Apples, believed in the power of quiet moments
for creativity. He one said thatwhen your mind sort of process everything and
it's sort of in silence, thatyour creativity flourishes. Jobs, like many
successful people, knew the value ofstepping back and then finding quite Also,
(02:24):
scientifically, silence has profound effects onour brains. Many research have shown that
even a few minutes of silence canreduce your stress and all that chatter which
is happening inside your brain. Whenwe are in silence, our brains get
a chance to rest, rejuvenate,and basically strengthen all the neural connections inside.
(02:49):
It's not just about mental peace,it's about giving our brains the rest
it need. Now, you mightbe wondering, how do we find silence
in the busy lights. Well,it's easier than you think. You don't
need to climb a mountain or goto a silent retreat. Silence is all
around you. It's just waiting tobe found. Here are my simple tips
(03:14):
of finding silence. First, builda morning ritual. Start your day in
silence. Probably wake up a bitearlier, and spend those first moments in
quiet reflection. It will set calmtone for the day. Second, take
silence breaks throughout your day. Takethese short silence breaks. Just five minutes
(03:38):
of quiet can refresh your mind.Third, find company with nature. Nature
is the best place to find silence. A quiet walk in a park can
be surprisingly irrejuvenating. In fact,walk under the sun. Spend some tech
free time. Choose an hour eachday to turn of your gadgets, put
(04:00):
it on silence or maybe airplane mode. The digital silence will be liberating.
Now, what do you do inthese silence moments, It's simple. During
your silence time, focus on yourbreathing. Feel each breathe in and out.
(04:23):
Let Your thoughts come and go,notice them, don't try to control
them, just observe. Pay attentionto the little things, the sounds of
birds, the rustling of leaves,the rhythm of your heart. Friends,
ancient yogis and stoic philosophers practiced silenceas a way to inner wisdom and awareness.
(04:48):
They believed that in silence one couldfind truth. By adopting silence in
your lives, you will follow atimeless path of self awareness. I remember
a day when I was sitting insilence and a realization struck me. I
was overworking myself, ignoring my health. That moment of silence gave me clarity
(05:11):
to reorganize my tu door list,to reset my priorities. As you practice
silence, you will notice changes.You will feel more relaxed, think more
clearly, and understand yourself better.Silence is like a secret key that unlocks
the mysteries of your minds. Iencourage you to embrace silence, keep quiet
(05:38):
for some time every day. Findthese quiet moments in your day. They
are there just waiting for you,and you will be amazed at the insights
and peace you will find. Thatwill be the time when you will build
friendship with your mind. Friends,Thanks for tuning in. Remember finding silence
(05:59):
is not hard, the small momentsand it's waiting for us. Let's explore
these quiet spaces and see how theyhelp us grow. Until next time.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
