What brings you peace?

Since the start of the year, I’ve been trying to find ways to keep my mental health in check. My job has become increasingly stressful and when I get home I need a way to decompress.

Several years ago, I would decompress by playing video games. There was nothing like a good round of Call of Duty getting in head shots to make you feel better right? Of course that changed when my son took over the PlayStation and started playing all the time.

Lately, I get home, change clothes, and just sit in a quiet house. No noise, wife is taking a nap, and my kids are doing there thing in other parts of the house. I just sit on the couch and listen to the silence. Sometimes, I’ll read a book though. Depends on my mood at that time. I may also even watch some TV.
