What is the Simple Quiet skill?

  • But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. - Psalm 131:2

  • The Simple Quiet skill (aka Skill 2) involves calming ourselves or lowering our own energy levels as needed.

  • Learn more about Skill 2: www.thrivetoday.org/skill2

  • Why do we need this skill?
    ➤ Quieting (shalom) after both joyful and upsetting emotions is the strongest predictor of life-long mental health.
    ➤ Lowering my own energy level so I can rest as I need to makes me feel stable.
    ➤ Because our brains run best on alternating rhythms of joy and peace, this self-soothing capacity contributes to optimal brain function and also sets us up to build more joy in our lives.

Find peace with us this Fall!

Would you benefit from more peace and calm in your life? Developing the skill of Simple Quiet enables you to find that calm even if life feels busy and the noise around you feels loud.

Join us as we go through the exercises in the Skill 2 Simple Quiet Habit Builder Course step by step and learn simple yet effective ways to calm and quiet yourself with a group of peers who also desire to grow this skill.

Brain scientists have discovered that our ability to downshift or calm ourselves is the best predictor of long-term mental health. And yet, in a busy world filled with stressors and so many things pulling for our attention, it can be incredibly difficult to pause and find the peace our souls yearn for.
