i just plan to have a very quiet environment. i eliminated any source of noise. i don't like to listen to any kind of music today. i just want to relax but without music. I want my thoughts just to relax and focus on my work at home. just enjoy the day as it pass minute by minute. i just want to see things in order this day. i want to get my place organized . i want to do things quietly. i want to feel some sort of tranquility on this day. so i don't play any games for now. i don't plan to open my facebook as i don't want to chat with any one. i just want focus at home only and nothing more. with that i want to eat healthy foods also for this day to combine with my mood of having quiet atmosphere. maybe just eat some oats the whole day and nothing oily and sweet and salty.

I hope that this worked for you and you were able to enjoy the day that you envisaged. I have days like this too, although in my case I cannot completely obliterate noise, but it is good to be able to live with oneself in harmony and without distractions, even pleasant ones. Perhaps we should all do this more often, have a date with ourselves, but it is a luxury that many people cannot afford.

I like to have my ipod on with my headphones and listen to my favorite oldies music. Music that I grew up with in the 60s... that's how I get a lot done in the house, and it is very relaxing to me and I love puttering like that... it's very calming to my spirit.

we all want that kind of day at least every once in a while.. where you can just do your thing, where you are not expected to do anything around the house, be lazy, just sleep, eat, do whatever you wanted... often too i just have that me time and just sit or lie around and just have my mind be blank. :D it really relaxes me.. when i am in a public place, i could just go on doing the same thing, just sit around and just watch people walk by, do their thing, be busy.. and i would just love to observe them quietly.

Go ahead with your plan. That I certainly great for you as we'll as for your health. Sometimes, we need to be alone to recollect and become a new person ones again. As we travel in the journey called life, we will encounter things long that way that will somehow slow as down and tear our body apart. We need to be alone at times to repair and to tune up.

Hi hotsummer...I hope that its just a day of relaxation for you and nothing else is going on...I have certainly had moments that I have had those same thoughts of wanting no interruptions or anything... I think we need a day like that every once in a while, I call it "A MENTAL HEALTH DAY"... SO I hope your day of tranquility was great,,,, have a good weekend...

Hello friend, I also feel the same way for the day. I just want it to be all calm and peaceful and I don't want any noise no matter what. When I want to be quiet, then even music becomes noise for me! I just want the day to go as it goes, I don;t want any tensions, no work load, no pressure of finishing things. just do the things i feel like and finish the day peacefully!

Hi friend, i am also interested in enjoying this kind of quite day, since we are living a busy life and don't have time for silence. Good to know that you are having a quiet day. Enjoy it a lot

A quiet day is certainly welcome but when you have kids and chores to do and various other things to attend to it becomes almost impossible to have a such a day. Maybe a few hours, but definitely not a whole day. However it is nice to spend a relaxed day, whenever possible. It is best to appreciate every little thing we encounter throughout the day. Otehr people are sick, hospitalised or suffering in some way or anotehr. So appreciating peace of mind and spending a quiet day is really something positive.

What a great idea to calm the spirit and the body. Hope your day is tranquil and just the way you want it. For me, relaxing is cooking a great meal slowly and enjoying the smells from the aroma. I've had some really tranquil days so far this month, and it is so nice to not be up tight about anything.

I think yesterday was the most quietest day I have had in awhile. Someone is always trying to make noise with whatever they have-- either their pie hole or the TV, car horns, etc. They are complaining,talking, or arguing constantly about stupid petty things and so forth here. I think the only way I'll have a quiet day sometimes is to rent a hotel room and that I can't afford.

Even out here in the boonies (La Union) we can't find peace an quiet. There's always people that want to be more important by screaming and shouting. Our neighbours 'is/are' a beach resort. Noise can go on 22 hours a day. And the mayor of San Juan?? He shrugs his shoulders and tells us "Well, they have a business to run!" DISGUSTING!!!!

I'd love to have a quiet day too, (and I can because my phone's turned off) but my sister and niece are over here and the last thing I want to hear or see is them moaning and complaining about how there lives are miserable. So, I retreat to my ipod, and mylot. 'Enjoy the silence.' Depeche Mode

You are so lucky to have this quite day. so far as i know for me, since i got married and kids, I don't have a quite day. I have a very interesting day together with my kids exploring the little things they wanted to know. I wish I have some kind of time like yours in order for me to think or some kind of relaxation by myself.

Thats a very interesting idea making the foods match your calm day. I cant stay off facebook I check it for new statuses every hour or more lol. I check it from my phone which is where I am mylotting now. I have a busy day so I am trying to relax with a nice cup of coffee right now. I was catching up on surveys on opinion outpost up until a few minutes ago. Now my daughter is on the computer. I wrote a post last night about my day today which starts at 1pm with a holiday dinner.

I hope that your day goes the way that you want it to. It's nice to have those types of days. Especially if we have had a busy week. Have a good day.

That is good. At times we need to be in silence. Reflect and meditate. This will help you, I'm sure of it.

Hello. Sometimes i too feel the same. In fact there have been days where i didn't even talk to my family or friends coz i wanted everything to be silent. It does have it's own pros and cons though.
