I never imagined myself being a monk and I never imagined loving a quiet space either. Before I joined the monastery I could describe myself as an extravert. As time went on and I as practiced being in silence, my ability to recharge in silence became stronger. Now when I'm feeling overwhelmed I just need to take about 20 minutes in silence to process parts of my day. Most people can't stand being left with their own thoughts in silence and are actually afraid of being alone. Silence in solitude is a practice just like anything else. Start slowly by being in silence for 10 minutes a day and work your way up. You'll find that your head is more clear and you will be more in the present moment.  https://MonkMindset.com
