When my husband or anyone else, says something to me that throws me out of peace, I would pause, breathe, ask myself what I’m feeling, why I’m feeling this and what’s the truth.
This was the first step freed me from just ignoring what I was feeling, acknowledge it and deal with it. Over time I began to have a more of a peaceful heart and mind.
Next I shifted into paying attention to when I was asked to do something that I didn’t feel at peace with, and I started practicing saying “no!” This created a confidence in myself and a determination to stay true to myself, instead of doing something I would regret.
Finally I transitioned into “protecting my peace!” This means that my peace became the most important thing to me. Knowing that what I Truly am at my core is peace! If I go against what I am, I open myself up to shame, guilt and regret. These feelings can spiral me into depression, where I completely loose sight of myself. When we are not living in alignment with what we are, it is hard to be light, love and helpful to humanity.
I’ve been helping people heal and get healthy in their mind-body-spirit for almost two decades, and I’ve come to realize over time is that; what is the cause of most of our problems is that don’t watch our thoughts and feelings that throw us out of peace, and then we just follow our Egotistical Programmed Mind into trying to cope, rather than process what we are going through.
My students have told me over and over, that the thing that is helping them the most, is when I tell them to follow their peace!
Following our peace first causes us to be aware, then it gives us confidence, it helps us to tap into our Inner Guidance and ultimately causes us to no longer just give in to our ego, or other people and take a stand for what we believe and deserve.
This process seems so simply and yet it is so profound when it comes to finding our freedom and peace.
