Tuning Out

In today's world of constant communication, it's important to learn how to drown out the noise.

Domonique Bertolucci, a Sydney lie coach and author of Your Best Life (Hachette Livre), says silent time is important for absolutely everyone to reconnect with their authentic values.

"Daily life throws lots of situations at us where we're asked to compromise our values," she says. "The only way to reconnect is to take time out to be quiet with yourself."

Bertolucci recommends a regular "reboot", whether that be a half-day with the phone switched off, or a longer one-week break every few months. "I also think it's so important to start and end every day quietly; it helps you to be intentional about how you would like the day to go."
