What Gives You Peace?

Mitmo01 · 12-12-2009, 07:16 PM

A warm bath always does it for me...some candles and myself floating in the hottest possible water my skin can take...it always relaxes me beyond belief

sometimes its a drink as well or even weed but when i want real relief its always in the form of some water

I am a very emotional guy. When I was younger, I was forced to be un-emotional. It is like being stompped on by a full grown elephant.

I have learned to step back, and refocus my energy on something other than who or what is bothering me.

This is what I do:

*Garden
*Mow the lawn
*Smoke a cigar or two or three if need be

*Pray
*Mediatate
*Listen to music

*Chant
*Sing

*Walk with Dino

*Do a Word Search
*Watch ESPN

*Talk to my friends
*Play Golf

*Go Fishing

A stiff drink, and an old movie

When I'm stressed, it's often in relation to some kind of argument or misunderstanding. So, good, productive communication brings me peace.

Also...

Knowing that my kids are OK.
The scents and sounds of nature, especially the woods or the ocean.
Paying my bills.
Reading a good book.
A day trip.

Arlington Cemetary was decorated with wreaths today. I think it was something like 1500 and all the wreaths were donated along with small American flags.

A traveler was walking along a beach when he saw a woman scooping up starfish off the sand and tossing them into the waves. Curious, he asked her what she was doing. The woman replied, "When the tide goes out it leaves these starfish stranded on the beach. They will dry up and die before the tide comes back in, so I am throwing them back into the sea where they can live."

The traveler then asked her, "But this beach is miles long and there are hundreds of stranded starfish, many will die before you reach them - do you really think throwing back a few starfish is really going to make a difference?"

The woman picked up a starfish and looked at it, then she threw it into the waves. "It makes a difference to this one," she said.
