How do you start to find peace in your life?
As a young woman I find hard to be at peace. At least, this is what I used to think.
Many people live in big cities where the crowd is massive and the traffic is total.
The point is not where you live, but how you manage problems and find balance in your life.
1) Start from your thoughts
First of all, we should start from the word itself: peace.
It's a beautiful word and now that I'm using it I already feel like my mind has changed.
The first to find peace is to be aware of the world we use in our brain, our vocabulary, just before we speak. Your mind is a home that you have to keep clean, airy and fresh. So, start from your thoughts.
2) Over Chaos and stillness
Peace is like enjoying the breaking wave over the rock of a sea: you need chaos and stillness.
Peace it's like a poem I wish I had written, a momentum I would love to live forever. Sometimes you wouldn't want to do determined activities, homework or assignments. Sometimes you are grateful of busy life that enrich you journey. It's chaotic, I know, that's why also you need stillness to remember where you can be and how to combine the two things together.
3) Trust insecurities and uncertainty
Like or not, you need to trust yourself in all your values. Insecurities are in our head.
Guess what? You're right, it takes time. But it's time well spent. And second, uncertainty is part of the journey, so be present and grateful for everything. Let it be now.
4) Let it go
To sum up, there are a few moments where I could say I was in peace and they're complicated. It's like the picture of Palermo's sea, with those lights and blue sky. Colors over thoughts. It's just love, love and love. When I went to Palermo my psycological life was going down. I knew something ended and I was trying to find a way to go on and start again.
It's not easy, I tell you. But there are always "buts". The picture says it all.
In the end, what can I really say about finding peace?
Movement will get you somewhere. Even if you think you're going in the wrong direction your gut will know how to say "no" to something wrong, and to find balance in your life. One day, you will be at peace and most of all you'll remember your journey. Right?
