May Peace Prevail On Earth
Happy International Peace Day and Fall Equinox
“Try to be as happy as you possibly can. Search for your good points in order to make yourself happy. The main source of strength within is joy.”
- Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE
The International Day of Peace is an annual day of ceasefire and peace every 21st of September.
Millions of people celebrate this Peace Day in every country in the world, and hundreds of organizations have carried out life-saving activities in areas of conflict.
How can you bring more peace into the world?
By becoming peaceful inside of yourself.
You can set your intention to be a thermostat: one who sets and holds the temperature – CREATING your own context, perspective and experience – even when others around you are acting like thermometers – REACTING to every external stimulus.
Breathe. Taking deep breaths helps calm the brain and the sympathetic nervous system out of it’s fight or flight reaction.
Focus on the big picture. The more you expand your awareness and focus on your overall goals, the more the little things fall into perspective and the less they bother you.
Remind yourself, “It’s not about me.” We tend to take the reactions of others personally. Recognizing it is someone else’s button getting pushed opens the possibility for understanding and compassion rather than anger and frustration.
Remind yourself, “This is about me.” When our own button gets pushed it’s an opportunity to get curious about why, instead of blaming the other person for pushing it. They are there to help me see I have that button, giving me a hidden blessing if I can look past them, deeper into myself for healing and solutions.
Being a “thermostat” can be a challenge.
Life can be overwhelming. We all experience one or many of these: Insecurity, disappointment, frustration, self-doubt, worry, depression, exhaustion, money troubles, relationship problems, physical ailments,...and the list goes on.
It's easier than you think to stabilize and feel better – quickly!
