I realize that there is a misconception that peace can only be achieved when everything that is wrong is corrected or everything that is missing is resolved, when there is nothing left to be done. People with this belief run relentlessly for future peace. While they try to do more work in less time with the feeling of being late for the peace that is constantly waiting for them, waiting too long and missing it, they can only stop and rest when their bodies are exhausted, but this time their minds do not stop. They cannot rest or even sleep while thinking about what is missing and bad possibilities in the future. On the other hand, because they are in a hurry, they try in vain for things that will be solved when the time comes or that they will realize are not a problem, and sometimes they may even make the situation more difficult.
Peace is not a goal that can be achieved by working for it. There is nothing more natural than feeling unhappy or anxious when things go wrong and negativity is encountered. Just like when something good happens in our lives, we feel happy at that moment. Just as happiness doesn't last forever, neither can unhappiness or anxiety. Every emotion has a lifespan. Of course, unless you take the new package out of the closet and open it.
Do not let the unhappiness brought about by a negative experience drag you to the bottom in an exhausted, helpless and sad state. Unless we have emotions called negative, we remain in our place, we cannot change, we cannot reach the better and more beautiful. But if we are uncomfortable, we move and work for a better condition. At this point, we need to plan the issues that worry us and place them on the calendar, just as we plan every job. Instead of trying to get rid of everything negative at once, making a plan for the most urgent and postponing the others to other reasonable dates will make you feel more in control and give you small breaks where you can breathe. Peace is hidden in today. Instead of thinking about what to do next, being aware of the moment with the comfort of controlled procrastination allows you to live today. Trust your future you. Whatever will make you happy and peaceful can be done today with the same pleasure, before all the troubles are over. Just allow yourself to. Pamper yourself with small rewards and rin.
If you haven't been able to do anything, stop for a moment, just like I did a while ago, breathe slowly, feel the light breeze on your shoulder, identify the sounds coming from outside with those on holiday, maybe the hum of traffic coming from afar. It can even be the sound of a wave, if desired, look at an object you love near you (a mug, a green plant or a photograph), remember the core values you have (child, spouse, hobby, job, whatever it is, you are grateful for having), exhale slowly. . Peace is within you, today.
