Last week, the whirlwind of busy took over. This week, though, I’m letting peace settle in. I’m doing the best I can—and it feels good.
I’m learning to regulate my emotions, to keep external things from dictating how I feel. I’m resting well. I’m claiming this sense of calm as my own. What a beautiful week this is going to be!
But as I think about it, I wonder—how do we hold on to this feeling? How do we keep this peace in the face of life’s ups and downs? Maybe that isn’t really the goal. After all, we’re not machines, designed to feel one way all the time. Peace isn’t a constant, unchanging state. It’s something deeper and more dynamic than that.
For me, peace is my home—it’s always inside, waiting for me to return to it. I carry it within me, even when life feels a little less than peaceful. I’ve come to understand that I don’t need to force myself to feel peaceful every single day. That wouldn’t be real. Life brings challenges, emotions, highs, and lows. Some days are harder than others, but that’s okay. I know I have what I need inside to find my way back to calm whenever I need it.
So, I’d love to ask you: How are you finding your peace within? What helps you return to that steady place inside, even when things get a little messy?
Let’s share our experiences and support each other in embracing acceptance, knowing that peace doesn’t have to be constant to be real. Let’s celebrate the power of tapping into it when we need it most.
Peace is our home—it’s already within us.
