Noise. I just don’t like noise. Quiet – this is why I am always thankful that I work at home. Actually it’s one of the major reasons why I love working at home. I calm myself by simply being quiet. Being quiet can be difficult in our stimulation-filled world. Just think of all the noise that surrounds many of us every moment. I used to wake up every work day to the noise of an alarm clock. This was when I worked at that call center.
Some people turn on the TV in the morning as they prepare for work. And think about this, if we even take the time to eat, do we even have any idea what our food tastes like because we are busy listening to or thinking about other things while we eat? And then we get in our cars, or ride public transportation. We hear the noise of the radio or the music on our headphones. We are surrounded by people constantly talking. Most of us might work with the noise of machines (computers, telephones, copy machines, printers, on and on) and of course people. And then we return home the same way. Instead of being relieved for a little quiet, we can’t stand it and turn on the TV for company and noise again. If we live with other people, we talk to them. This goes on seven days a week! No wonder why we’re exhausted and no wonder why we have no idea what’s going on inside of ourselves.
