Stories to Help You Find Peace and Quiet
Craving a little more peace and quiet is a common human desire — though it is one that can be hard to fulfill. Busy lives, packed schedules, and running to and from events can take up all the time and leave little space to sit quietly and just be. But the importance of finding a few moments every day to do nothing but listen to your thoughts, feel your feels, and ground your system can not be overstated. It’s during these peaceful times that you get to know yourself, relax your body, and take deep rejuvenating breaths that help you stay calm for the rest of the day.
These five stories share different ways of finding calm, whether it’s focusing on your breathing, jumping into your imagination, or learning to let go of distractions. Cuddle up with your little ones, take a deep breath together, and hit play for a daily dose of peace.
