There isn’t much we can do to live a more peaceful life, especially because we cannot control external factors and circumstances (i.e. family, friends, politics, society we live in, etc.). However, what we can do is to try and take back control of some aspects of our life – we can feel overwhelmed when things are spiraling and we can’t get a grip of a situation or also emotions. But when we pause and focus on just the next step, complete said step, and then think about the next one and so on, this can help us regain control and ultimately bring back peace to ourselves. Similar to when you have to complete any task that, at first, looks like immense, but then, if you break it down in smaller tasks, it will help us accomplish said task.

I preserve the peace I feel surrounding me by seeking out the good in each and every situation today
