A: “The beauty of living in an open neighborhood is the absence of rules and dissension,” says Dr. Kristen Bomas, 50+ mermaid, life coach, speaker, and author. Of course, it also presents challenges like this.
Kristen continues, “The truck is a constant that cannot be changed at this time. As people, we want to grow to a place of compassion. So, how might you cope? Since you can hear the engine upon the start, there is nothing the neighbor can do to stop the interruption. You can put a white noise machine in your bedroom. This may blur out any extraneous noises while you sleep. The other thing to keep in mind is that, in time, your body and mind will override the sound. It is like the train tracks by my home. I used to hear two separate tracks throughout the day and night. Now, I cannot hear them at all because the body is designed to not hear a consistent noise or sound. It is a beautiful thing to have kindness and compassion to develop a friendly neighborhood.”
