 <\/p>\n

Today’s question is “What Quiets YOU?”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was pleased to hear blogging and leadership superstar Michael Hyatt give out some serious props recently for naps and people who take them. I like working late, but my family needs me early. I need my naps. No, I don’t get them regularly. When I don’t something happens. I fall asleep reading. I go right into REM sleep too…as you might imagine.<\/p>\n

Except for when I’m exhausted I can only nap when one other thing is in place:<\/h1>\n

I must feel safe.<\/p>\n

If threats loom I am disquieted.<\/p>\n

Trust is what quiets down my soul so I can wade through the rest of it, and lay me down to sleep. Trust in God, Trust in myself, and Trust in others.<\/p>\n

In finding what quiets our souls we find not just peace, but vitality, and fullness. <\/a>(click to tweet<\/a>\u00a0that reminder)<\/em><\/p>\n

The hush may come from acceptance, wonder, rest, or satisfaction from a job well done, but it must<\/span> be found.<\/p>\n

Without it we just keep on wandering.<\/p>\n

So ask yourself. “What Quiets Me?” How and where am I most settled?<\/h2>\n

Write down one word<\/span> to remind yourself, and tape it up<\/span> somewhere. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It will help you not just remember to find it, but it’ll help you remember who you really are.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
