Deep dives
Inner Peace and Regulating the Nervous System
Inner peace is about keeping our nervous system regulated in moments of stress, anxiety, and external chaos. It involves not getting worked up about things we can't change and not letting others' bad behavior ruin our day. It requires recognizing when we are giving our power away and choosing not to engage with people committed to misunderstanding us. Finding inner peace involves a healing process where we prioritize our peace, identify what brings us chaos versus peace, and reflect on our behaviors that contribute to inner chaos or peace.
Prioritizing Self-Care for Inner Peace
Prioritizing self-care is essential for finding inner peace. By exploring what brings us peace and chaos, we can create a stillness plan and ease plan that allow us to prioritize ourselves amidst our roles and responsibilities. Even small changes, such as waking up early, can make a significant difference in our peace and attitude. Balancing all aspects of life is challenging, but by harmonizing our responsibilities and roles, including self-priority, we can show up in work, family, and relationships in a fulfilling way.
