Introduce some quiet into your life
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
When you have some time on a weekend, no matter how hard it seems, try to spend an entire day without using your cell phone, PDA, or the Internet. Block out all uninvited distractions and spend some time enjoying the quiet.

This step is vital. I have gone 3 months without alcohol and need to be able to control my emotions for continued well-being. Having a way to retreat from electronic annoyances, traffic, and rude intrusions of any kind, is most welcome. Putting on quiet music while waiting for trains to cross, or going the long way through rural areas instead of using interstates is helpful. While waiting in line at the grocery store, it’s more relaxing to read a magazine that’s being sold there and put it back, than to silently seethe at the moron with too many items, screaming kids, or a check-writing problem.
spent the day in the woods. the sound of nature is golden.
I guess I won’t be able to log my progress tomorrow, then! :)
This will be easy for me. Time to get started, gotta get off the internet. :)
Ok not internet, Cell of anything that willgive me noise… wow this is going tobe hard but i am going to do it!
On days that I accidentally forget my cell phone at home, it is actually kind of freeing. This challenge seems pretty much impossible for me on a work day, so I’ll try it sometime over this long holiday weekend.
