When Emotions Are High, Silence Is Power

 When Emotions Are High, Silence Is Power




By Colleeno Chippy


There are moments in life when everything feels loud — inside and out. Thoughts racing, heart pounding, nerves dancing. The emotions are sky-high, yet your energy is scraping the floor. And that’s often the most dangerous combination — high emotions, low energy. That’s when we say the things we don’t mean, make decisions we don’t really want, and write chapters we end up regretting.


But what if you chose to pause?

What if you allowed the moment to pass before you responded, before you tried to explain yourself, before you poured from an empty cup?


When emotions are high, the wisest thing you can do is go quiet. Breathe. Step back. Observe. Let the waves settle before you try to swim.


You don’t always have to clap back.

You don’t always have to prove your point.

You don’t even have to process the pain right away.

Sometimes, you just have to sit with it. Feel it. Watch it move through you — without reacting to it.


There is power in stillness. There is clarity in silence. And there is restoration in knowing that not every emotion deserves a response.


The truth is, emotional intelligence isn’t about suppressing your feelings — it’s about knowing when your feelings are running the show and having the strength to wait them out. It’s being honest enough to say, “I’m not okay right now, and that’s okay. But I won’t let this moment become my message.”


The version of you that acts from peace will always serve your future more than the version of you that reacts from pain.


So the next time you’re overwhelmed, underwhelmed, tired, triggered, or just downright worn out — remember this:

You are allowed to pause.

You are allowed to wait.

You are allowed to not have all the words right away.

Give yourself permission to rest and reset before you react.


Let your quiet be your shield.

Let your silence be your sanctuary.

Let your stillness speak louder than your stress.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
