She’s creating a life of ease, peace, comfort and intentional happiness. It does not require struggle, stress and distress. It consists of boundaries, clarity and self-care. She will not deal with anything that causes her stress or brings negativity into her life. She’s leveling up.

I am growing attached to the phrase, leveling up. The idea of a progression to the next level through experience appeals to me. I want to believe I understand myself well enough to know what is important. I want to surround myself with what matters to me.
My only change to the quote above, concerns refusing to deal with stress or negativity. For me, it’s about managing stress and negativity in a way that does not cause harm. I have learned through experience that refusing to deal with difficulty does not make it go away. It only compounds the problem.
I am intent on creating a life where I can escape from the chaos of the outside world. To surround myself with a quiet existence. One where the peaceful sounds of life are not drowned out by the surrounding uproar. It’s not that I don’t care about what is happening in the world around me. I am making the choice not to let it consume me. I realize that the luxuries of life are the quiet places created by my family, my friends and my home.
Although, I believe I am headed in the right direction, getting there will not be a straight line. It’s a work in progress.
Peace be with you.
