I got a chance to say these words a few days ago: “I am enjoying the peace and quiet of this season.” It’s true. I have had lots of hectic periods in my life just like any one, but it’s been really great to enjoy the silence.

Often we get caught in the energy of others around us and get pulled into drama. Before we know it, we get completely wrapped up in something and don’t realize the stress that we are putting ourselves through. The solution is simple: pay attention and reflect on your current status as often as possible. And, once you notice that the noise is too loud, turn down the volume. It’s okay to take yourself out of things that don’t serve you. After all, it is your one life that you get to enjoy.
