So, we all know that you can bang on a drum and it is pretty loud but if done correctly they can make some pretty amazing beats. There are however some other things that can go bang bang bang bang and even if done correctly can drive you CRAZY!!
I can tell you from this past week that drilling into the ground right behind your house is one of those things. Does not matter if you are in a closed-up house with your music on you can hea
r that bang bang bang. It is almost like you can feel it and after many hours it will drive you crazy and quite frankly sideline your day totally.
Got me thinking as I have lived through that kind of noise all week, what simple noises or every day noises can drive people crazy. Different people have different sensitivities to noise and what might sound cool to one person can sound like nails on a chalk board to another. I think we can all agree nails on a chalk board is just NO!
So ok simple facts here right, we all know loud noises can scare us or annoy us and we all have certain noises that make us want to run away or crawl out of our skin. What is the point, right?
Well for me this week I think it is to be aware of how it affects you and how it can affect others. Do not let your reaction to it boil up to the point where you freak out on something or someone else.
I know our “To-Do” lists are LONG but if the noise is where you are working and you want to scream take your laptop and drive somewhere to work remotely for a bit. Or maybe take a break mid-day and finish up your work after the noise has stopped.
Just do not let it take you past your breaking point so that the others around you feel it to. You never know how it could be affecting others as well so do not share your misery with them, work together to get through what ever is causing it and your day will be better. Teamwork and Shine Bright! Much Love!
