True Peace Within

True peace within.  What does peace mean to you, are you a peaceful person.  I like to think I am, although blunder in comparison to most.  I do love peace and quiet, not too quiet, but always love a sense of calm throughout my day, my house and environment.  In the face of chaos, though can you still remain peaceful.  For me, I am only human and can handle things the way I know how-though Peace is what I search for on my daily outings, my chats with others, when the tide hits, I love to try to remain calm through all matters, although of course sometimes it gets the better of me.

Everyone is dealing with something, something big, something that feels beyond them, something small.  When I see people smiling through it all, it gives me a sense of hope, and reason to keep carrying on, joyful and peaceful.  When what they may be going through may be much more hurtful and much more delicate then I.  Some people say, to me...how do you do it, keep going the way you do with all that you entail in your life.  Like everyone, you just got to keep going, keep the faith, keep love alive, try to smile through any hardships.  When though one has a lot on there plate or shoulders, and no way to release them, no way to have a sense of understanding....that is when the sickness comes in with Mental Health and healing.  The reason why I talk about releasing the hardships in life, over and over, until able to handle more and then release more.  It becomes second nature.  

As someone who has dealt with Mental Health and still does, not as difficult as it was.  I can honestly say, the tools and tactics I use, are the most helpful in recovery.  Don't let life roll you over!  I tend to think, everyday for survival.  How am I feeling physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually?  What is missing today or feeling heavy that I have to over come, deal with...so that I can continue to be Mentally Fit?  I always pay close attention to my body.  Almost like a scan everyday to see how I am feeling, relating to the World around me.  What feels off...and HOW do I fix it using my tactics?  May seem ridiculous to some...not me, for me it works and allows me to most times, not all...remain calm and if I do have a melt down, I am able to put the peaces back together with my tools and tactics.  I say to myself when feeling...off...What can I do to FEEL BETTER...just as if you had a cold to tend to, you would have to do what you need to to get on your feet again.  The tools are as individual as the person and very vital.  A release gives not just a quick fix, but once you find out what works for you...you can use it next time, also you can tweak your tool how you like it.  

If your tool is going for a walk...what would make it so inspiring for you, how can you get the most of your walk or hike to come back being totally refreshed, being and feeling whole again, with yourself...so that there is no suffering.  You chip away at your ill feelings, or illness one by one..until you knock your illness right to the ground.  The tools you choose, are relaxation measures...also hobbies, things that make you joyful, happy, content and whole.  I change mine here and there...some remain constant, some change over time or I tweak them, when I find it is not working anymore.  Wanting to remain peaceful as the tough get going and the rough waters appear.  It for me is a constant understanding of asking my self, HOW do I feel right now, HOW does my body, mind, and spirit feel and I do everything through out the day to make it a top priority TO just FEEL good.  Remain Positive, Remain Peaceful.
