A passing thought:
Try to find time in your day to enjoy some silence. Silence is important and can help calm you both emotionally and physically.
Find a place to sit in silence, this can be anywhere you find peaceful. In your house, garden or a local park. Use your senses to absorb everything that is around you, especially the little things such as colour, light and smells.
Treasure it and hang on to it for as long as you can. You may even be able to return to that place in your mind, whilst relaxing on another day.
This is exactly why I spend most of my time at the library.
It is quiet and free of stress from family members who make demands on your time.
I agree. It is also a place where we can think and reflect.
I would love to do this but sometimes I'll fall asleep when I'm still and quiet. I hate doing this because even taking a short nap during the day makes me feel lousy.
There are the rare moments when I can do this, even if they are few and far between.
It's nice to get away mentally from the chaos.
It's lovely that you do have those rare moments Lisa. It's always good when we can.
