be at peace

I’m tired of my life being crazy. I don’t want to let the stress get to me. I want to have peace in my life and just be calm.

Far too many things have been getting to me as late and the stress has been piling up. I know I need to just breath and remember that this too shall pass it’s just the getting there, the remembering to breath to be peaceful inside my tumultuous thoughts takes so much more work than I had anticipated.

When do I know I’ve accomplished this?

the shortcut to peace is faith

Seriously, I’m about halfway through this book, and it is eye-opening the way he brings all of this thinking together in a profound way. I see why Oprah is so behind this book. If you only read one self-development book this year…

I’m going to begin practicing yoga twice a week again in a class room setting and I hope to incorporate yoga into my life, practice at home and with my partner.

be content and peaceful, not worry so much, really believe (without trying) that everything is working toward good.

it is every single human who searches for peace. we have a day or two of it and we think it’s here to stay, only to be dismayed and discourage when it flits to another. we search for it long and hard only to stop the hard, cruel hunt and find it was sitting on our shoulder all along.

i know not one single human young or old who isn’t searching for some form of peace. stop, be still, it will come. that is my own reminder when my hunt is long and tiring.

I can’t really get over this.
It’s so amazing to think about and it’s really helping me, even in simply attempting to wrap my head around it.

I am not my body; my body is recycled earth.

I am not my breath; my breath is recycled air.

I am not my emotions; my emotions are recycled energy.

I am not my thoughts; my thoughts are recycled information.

I am not my ego; my ego is isolated and alone.

I am not my personality; my personality is a combination of relationships.

I am the unchanging observer.

In stillness, I find my true self.

-Deepak Chopra

I’ve been so stressed lately, between getting ready to move, hating my job, getting more responsiblilites at work, balancing life with my daughter and my s/o, dealing with her father, and waiting…. Always waiting…. It’s driving me nuts…. I just want to be at peace and know that I will get through this, but only by trusting God with the outcome. I know it, I believe it, but some how, I don’t feel it…...
