“Find Peace in your Everyday Life”

April 22, 2021

Thursday

Peace, oh! I truly need it and want it every day. My life is not perfectly written and made, and honestly, I just want harmony in every moment. Who doesn’t want it or need it?

As a parent, it’s really hard to maintain and balance everything in life between work and family. And I can’t deny the fact that I find it hard to balance my time most especially nowadays. I am a full-time mom at home and a self-proclaimed “blogger” at night. And just recently, I experienced some bad effects of it in my body. It worries me since I’m still young at the age I need to change my lifestyle if I don’t want the worst could happen to me.

But honestly speaking, when the virtual and the real world mixed up in some occurrences, I was about to go insane. It’s truly hard to handle things all together and if I push myself, I know it will only result in disastrous scenarios. I just can’t find peace at home and I feel the four corners of it are getting smaller for me and will swallow me alive. And I just want to breathe even for a few moments. And that’s what I did today.

It was 5 pm when my cousin and I took a short work on our neighborhood, in a street nearby. At last! I found some peace even for a few moments.

I admired the view I used to cherish when I was still a kid. Back in those days, the street used to be our playground. We played all day long under the heat of the sun and never truly care about what will happen tomorrow. All we knew that time is to enjoy our childhood through play.

But those were only from the past, I’m here facing the reality that a lot of things happened and I can’t stay ignorant as a kid forever. I am battling with thoughts, some are truly happening while others are just my “own” thoughts of some things that never happen yet. I’m overthinking again, though I know it’s not healthy I’m just a human who is concerned about my present and future life.

And in the walk I had today, I am happy to assert things again. Clear and win over those thoughts that keep on disturbing me and did breathe deeply for a moment. And just recalled again that finding peace in everyday life is a must to keep my senses altogether in good shape.

As I am still having a goal to pursue, no disturbing thoughts should bother me. I’m trying hard just to keep my positivity within reach yet; here I am letting those disturbing thoughts enter my mind.

In times like this, I have no one to blame but myself again, for letting those negative vibes eaten me up even for a few minutes. I always believe that the worst enemy we can have and already have is we, ourselves.

You are always in control of your thoughts, you are always aware of what’s truly happening in your life and it depends on you on how to handle things and the circumstances life may throw at you. And to recognize it, you need to focus on yourself first and regain your attention.

Other people aren’t responsible for your decisions but you. So, if you don’t want to be miserable, help yourself and get out of that negative box you’re in. Find your happiness in the everyday life you have. Just think about it, of all people you are given a new chance and beginning every morning after you wake up with that two beautiful eyes. You are blessed.

Peace, I know we all want that, but how could peace come to us if we are always pouting our lips, sitting in the corner playing with thoughts inside our mind? You want peace but you’re not doing anything to welcome it. I used to look at life as a hard battle to win. But I just realized and recognized, that we are given life and it’s up to us to make it good or bad. Life is indeed simple, we can eat, we can sleep, and just repeat yet we, humans just make things complicated.

What I am trying to say is we are the ones who are making our own life’s destination. That’s why we have what we called “Free Will”. Whatever is your life today, it’s your choices’ consequences. But from miserable experiences, and from the mistakes we’ve committed, we can always choose from to learn about it or just regret it in the future.

So, what I did today is one of the best choices I chose in life this week. Honestly, you don’t have to go far places, hike and climb mountains, ride a car for almost 15km, just to find your peace when you find it in your everyday life.

Clear that mind, it’s all about recognizing what peace means to you. If you find that peace happiness will surely follow and better judgments and decisions. Who’d thought I could build up ideas through that simple walk I had. That’s why I have this article today to share with you; it’s the outcome of the option I made this afternoon. It gave me new and fresh ideas and forgot those troublesome feelings that lingered in me.

I'm just glad I did the right thing today, that short stroll for a moment let me enjoy the life I used to miss. See some shots I took while strolling around.

I love to appreciate the beauty of the sky always and the empty roads/streets we have here.

You know, it’s not too far away from home. I just took a few steps and ta-da! I am here finally found the peace I am waiting for, for quite a long time.

You can also do it, enough drama and focus on life, make it good and remarkable. Find happiness and peace in everything you do, it may sound hard and you might fail sometimes upon working on it, it’s completely fine. We’re just human we all commit mistakes and blunders but always remember without it we can’t be called humans after all.

You can find peace while sipping your hot coffee in the cool breeze of the morning or while taking care of your garden or pets, or while lying on your bed inside your room. Always remember to give yourself a “Me” time too even once for a while. You need that to find the inner serenity you’re longing for.

Use your free will and make your life more peaceful by making good decisions and choosing the right steps for betterment!
