I\u2019m curious just how many people either have not thought about it or know the answer but don\u2019t put those calming things to work.<\/p>\n<p>For example\u2026listening to Bob Marley, the Zac Brown Band, Jimmy Buffett, or some of Kenny Chesney\u2019s beach style music calms me down\u2026so I listen to this stuff\u2026a lot. It\u2019s no wonder that this type of music calms me because the other thing that calms me and centers me even more is the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>The sound of the waves, the smell, the scenery, and the power refocus every fiber of my being\u2026I LOVE being at the ocean\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily I have a third thing that calms me a lot\u2026my wife\u2026especially when she isn\u2019t driving me crazy (kidding\u2026whoa, just kidding). She has the ability to make me more comfortable in my own skin. It is often times from her that I draw confidence, happiness, and this :I can do anything\u201d attitude\u2026for that I am grateful.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s get back on topic because this post isn\u2019t all about her (haha)\u2026I think it\u2019s important for each of us to investigate and find those things that calm us, that center us, and allow us to be one in side ourselves. Face it\u2026with all the distractions in the world we need to be ONE as much as we can be. Find your thing or things and implement them into your life MORE than you currently are.<\/p>\n<p>Is it music? Food? The beach? Drawing? Photography? Whatever it is I strongly encourage you to do more of it\u2026it can and will make a difference in your day to day life. We forget to center ourselves, but it\u2019s vital to enjoying the roller coaster of life.<\/p>\n<p>I need a Scotch!
