Inner Peace
Today, so many of our days are filled with work, household chores, errands, financial worries, health issues and more that feel like a heavy weight. When we're in the midst of this it is difficult to rise above it all, and even harder to find our inner peace.
With everything that comes at us today we feel more stress than the generations before us. I'm not saying that they were without stress, but they were not confronted by millions of images and sounds as we are today. It can be nearly impossible to shut it all out and find time with silence to think and rejuvenate.
There are times I envy those who lived without computers, cell phones and television with over 200 channels. How nice it must have been to live each day without those distractions; to have time to do something that brought them inner peace. People today don't take time to find out what that is, or to indulge in it once they discover it.
Being over 60, I do know the things that bring me joy, reading, writing, cooking, baking, gardening and time with family and good friends. However, I am just as guilty as anyone when it comes to allowing time for it.
When I do allow time for something that brings peace into my life, a sense of relief comes over me. When there is peace, the stress dissipates which makes me keenly aware that there should always be time for that which brings us to this special place within us.
If you don't know what brings you peace, you need to explore, contemplate, and meditate to discover what that is. Whether it ends up being one thing or many things, you need to allow yourself the time to indulge in these activities.
When we allow time to do things that bring us joy, our lives become less stressful, and we begin to feel more happiness. Likes rays of sunshine it flows into those around us.
Soothe your soul and find your inner peace.
