If you are beginning to think about how to bring more silence and space into your life so that you can cultivate joy, remember that none of us can do this alone. It’s much easier to achieve and appreciate quiet when you have a supportive environment. If you can’t bring yourself into a quieter, more peaceful physical environment, surround yourself as much as you can with people who help foster a collective energy of calm and compassion. Consciously choosing what and who you surround yourself with is among the keys to finding more space for joy.
