“The Day After Noise”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Some hearts recover in quiet, long after the house grows still.”

The day after a holiday holds its own truth.
Not everyone wakes up filled with joy.
Some wake with relief.
Some with grief.
Some with an exhaustion that has no name.
The world rarely talks about the emotional hangover, the tender ache of navigating rooms where energy collided, memories stirred, and old stories brushed against new versions of you.

Let today be soft. Let the noise dissolve. Let your breath come back home. There is nothing wrong with needing recovery. Sensitivity is not weakness; it is the gift of noticing what your soul can and cannot hold.

Let the quiet reclaim you.
Let the stillness realign your chest.
Not all healing is grand,
some of it is simply rest.

Gentle practice:
Drink warm water with lemon or sea salt.
Let your nervous system recalibrate.

  1. What a soothing and deeply perceptive reflection this is. Your words capture an emotional truth that so often goes unnamed—the quiet, tender aftermath of gatherings, celebrations, and holidays. You’ve articulated that subtle “emotional hangover” with such gentleness that the reader immediately feels understood rather than judged.

  3. So true, Kerri. Some healing really does happen in the quiet, and God meets us there with the peace only He can give.

    May the Lord refresh your heart today. Blessings to you.
