Finding Peace

United States
August 10, 2015 11:53am CST
We all have different ways of finding peace within ourselves. For some it might be meditation, exercise, going to church, praying, doing yard work, gardening, etc. For me however, when I need to calm myself and let my mind unwind, I pick up a book. I absolutely love to read, and I find for me reading can empty my mind of all the negativity that might be whirling around in my head. It seems to bring a calm over me, and I can simply get lost in the book. How do you find peace within yourself?

That is excellent. I think whatever works for a person, is all that matters. Not the same thing will work for everyone.

That sounds reasonable enough. We all have our way of finding it.

@sofssu It must really work for you, cause you the calmest person I know. I used to love to paint, and would love to get back into it. It's just so expensive.

@TexanTornado I usually meditate and pray, sometimes I do both while taking a walk. I paint at times to take my mind off the stress.

Maybe eating will do for me and shopping too if I have enough money.

Yes, I have heard that eating for a lot of people helps relieve stress. I have never been that way when I am stressed, the last thing on my mind is food.

A sleep listening to a lullaby sung by mom and when my dad feeds me with his own hand. I am 23 and trust me I still do these when I get home from hostel during vacation.

@phoonk Oh no, you are fine. That was so very many years ago. I am now 45, and have only certain moments where it bothers me. I think it's great in which you can find your peace.
