Others cannot make us feel at peace. We must make our own inner peace.
Restless minds and hearts cannot be soothed by the words and actions of others. We must work to find that in our own souls. Whether finding peace entails going for a run/walk, meditating, journalling, or prayer is up to us. Take your quiet alone moments for a chance to practice introspective thinking. Find your own way to inner peace.
“You can be one lone voice, one voice, and you can make a difference. Even if it’s just peace of mind yourself.”
—Nonnie
“Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.”
—Brené Brown

Making an Effort
Like most things in life happiness is an achievement that one must actively pursue. Happiness is a choice, and once one decides that they deserve to be happy there is nothing that can stop them from achieving their goal. Today is a new day- break down the barriers that you’ve created and are preventing you from finding what you want in life. Chase your dreams, and choose to be happy.
This will take practice and it is not easy. Just like practicing for a sport, practice new tactics to train your brain to find the joy that you seek and deserve. Start by making an effort to smile. Try taking a slow walk and literally “stop to smell the roses.” Call a family member or friend. Laugh more. Or make you own THANKFUL LIST.
Have a great day, and celebrate what you have in life.
