Protecting My Peace

I have unfollowed certain content on social media that does not have anything positive or joyful to add to my day. I am more intentional with how I govern the type of conversations I engage in or even entertain. Often I am sought for counsel (I don’t know why this happens) and I am honestly okay with that. But don’t vent to me just to talk about people. After you vent are you on board with arriving to a solution? The conversation has to have good intentions because if we don’t filter what we allow into us it will infiltrate us and then ooze out in counterproductive ways. At least that is what I believe. Also, when I need a moment, I let my children know this! Even if it’s just me saying “hey can I call you back honey I need a minute” or “son give mom about 20 minutes and I’ll be right out.”
