In this turbulent time we are living in I have found myself less spiritual and a lot more cranky.  I realize this isn't a healthy way to live.  So I asked myself How does one find peace during a time of chaos?

The first step is the acknowledgement and acceptance that it is missing from your life.  Too often chaos, anxiety along with constant activities become such a normal part of our lives that we don’t realize the harm they are doing.  The next step is to reassess our values, our desires. Being aware of what we need versus what we want.  Determining the things that are a necessity in our lives from those that are just desires based on a competitive lifestyle or superficial and fleeting fulfillment that is not lasting and will ultimately lead to more stress and less peace.

Finding peace shouldn’t be stressful.  Peace like happiness can seem out of reach. But if we just take a step back, take a breath and release we can begin to feel different and therefore see ourselves differently.  I find peace when I recognize that the only person pressuring me is me. I can let go of unrealistic goals and strive to live my life daily based on needs and less wants.
