The Quiet Place
Life is stressful. It’s jam-packed with things that we are expected to learn, understand and do. Even as kids, we are expected to play, but also to learn to tie our shoes and color in-between the lines. There are at least 12 years of schooling and the almighty task of finding and keeping a job. Throw in developing relationships and learning life lessons before eventually getting married, moving in with your significant other and having children. Then, making enough money to keep up your lifestyle and supporting your family, etc. What I’m getting at is that our lives often seem to be based on what we do in it; things that we accomplish, things we fail at, things we never got to do.
Then there are the things that we personally want to do with our lives. The crazy dreams and wishes we have. Bucket lists have become very common for people to have, as they mark down what people would like to try eventually. For example, I want to swim with dolphins and skydive one day, so both are on my bucket list. There are going to be some things you are definitely going to do no matter what and other things that may never happen, but play on what is a challenge for you and would change your life.
With all of this in mind, there is probably little time that you get to yourself, just an hour or even half an hour where you get to sit back and relax, because you are so used to being constantly on the go, thinking of what has to be done. Now, I’m not saying that I have a solution to all this stress, but I am going to guarantee that if you take this seriously, it will help you relax and give yourself a fresh start. Visit the link below, take a deep breath, follow the instructions and start relaxing.

My favorite quite place is in the middle of the forest. I like to sit and listen to the trees sing. It brings me such peace and tranquility. When Elijah and Connor get old enough to understand I am going to share my sacred space with them. Thank you for reminding me that I don’t do this often enough. Even if I just go there in my mind.
