Q is for Quiet. Quiet your mind. I find if I don't quiet my mind, my internal chatter deafens me and I have problems with hearing what my God has to say, let alone hear His call.
I was told to put real or imaginary bag by my bed, acknowledge each thought and put it in the bag. Recognize it as a thought and remember that you don't always have to act on it.
When you have all your thoughts in the bag, tie it up and remember, in the morning, you have an option, you can leave the bag and let it all go, or pick it up, open it, and take out all those thoughts to clutter your mind in today.
In the quiet and the stillness, say the Serenity Prayer.
