Whether you’re having a good day, bad day, been extremely busy, tired of the hustle, need some sort of escape or alone time…you need time for yourself. When you’re going 100 mph all the time, you need to have those areas of your life where you’re not working or stressing about the regular stuff, but simply doing something that brings you internal joy and peace. You need your pocket of peace.

On the podcast, we talk a lot about having our ‘pockets of peace,’ a lesson taken from Aubrey Marcus, founder of Onnit. Your pocket of peace is a place you go to or a thing you do where it’s only you, and it’s all about you. For some people this might be the gym, playing a sport, yoga, boxing, creating art, going for a drive, video games, etc. Everyone needs to have their ‘thing’ that helps them escape for a while in order to stay sane lol. When you’re having a bad day, or even when you’re having a good day, you need those things in your life that keep you grounded. It’s ok (and actually necessary) to take time to yourself to just have some ‘you’ time. With how busy life gets, surrounded by something or someone all the time, it’s good to quiet everything down and enter your pocket of peace.

When you’re in your pocket of peace, you’re not working or worrying about anything except what you’re doing at that exact moment. You’re 100% present. This is your time to release, let it go, and get back to baseline. We’ve said before that you need something to look forward to every single day, and your pocket of peace can fulfill more than just one daily benefit.
