Joy in the Moment

Soft Pillow, Clear Conscience—Clear Your Conscience to Get Some Sleep

By Joy Pape, FNP-C, CDCES

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.”
–French Proverb

You may have had a situation that didn’t feel right to you. You had to make a decision and may have even lost sleep over it. Others most likely have had different opinions, but in your gut or in your heart you knew what was right for you.  

You chose what’s right for you and you most likely slept better, had more energy and joy in the moments to follow because you chose what’s right for you. Continue to do so.

—OR—

You may now have a situation that doesn’t feel right to you. You have to make a decision about it. You may even be losing sleep over it. Others have different opinions, but in your gut or in your heart you know what is right for you.  

Make the decision to choose what’s right for you. Don’t listen to or agree with the thoughts trying to get you to overthink it.  You’ll most likely sleep better, have more energy and joy in the moments to come because you have your answer. You know you’ll choose what’s right for you.
