Just spent 5 days alone in a 100-year-old Forest Service cabin to "de-jam." The only sounds I heard were nibbling mice in the attic, the birds outside, the rain, and a random local car driving by (I could hear it from miles away). Oh, and my own breathing, my own heartbeat. De-Jam: It's my term for quiet healing and originates from the lyrics to the Tom Petty song, "You're Jammin' Me." I can live with some outer noise, but it's the inner noise that has to be purged periodically. Let me tell you, if you think a physical detox is a good idea, then this will be even better. I could literally fill my lungs with air at the end of my time, which I had to struggle to do before I left, such is the way I hold my tension. Thanks for reminding us of the value of silence.

I have retreated to my apartment for a few days to get a break from life and the hassles only to do what needs to be done. For a mini vacation so to speak. I have only music I enjoy. I am recuperating from a low immune cold and stress and feeling run down. I am soaking up the quiet and moving slow and just doing the tea and what needs be. The quiet is healing and good for me. There has been too much excitement with politics and the world. I need the quiet and have not been in my quiet place enough lately. So, now I am grabbing it while I can this weekend. It is worth it. Namaste friends. And much peace to you.

I love silence. Walking in the woods, curled up in my bed, driving in the car, painting at the studio. I crave the simple lack of noise! Stacey / Create a Balances last blog post..Yes, Oprah Really Did Call Me

Hi Maya!
Welcome to GoodifeZen!
You say: “a blog post just tumbles over and over in my brain while I go about my day.”

I have the same problem. Unfortunately it’s the way my creativity works. I walk about pregnant with a new idea. It seems that I’m thinking about it. But the thoughts are not quite in my consciousness yet.

If I let the ideas tumble around in my head without trying to stop them, suddenly the article is sharp and clear and I can sit down and write.

Hi Mary,
Just subscribed.
“pesky planning thoughts” – I am totally with you on that one. I am always overplanning in my head ….even a blog post just tumbles over and over in my brain while I go about my day.
I use pen and paper method. Take sime time, put it all down on paper and then do something like a hot bath to enjoy my clear head. Perfect way of managing my stress.

Hi Martin!
Personally, I find the whirr of fans quite irritating…
