Pathways to Peace......

Tweet

I could write about 8 different posts, there are sssoooo many thoughts... flashing in and out of my brain...,  but I won't.... My normal peace and equilibrium is under attack, because of other peoples thoughts , feelings and problems...  'family....' I am playing the role of peacemaker, although part of me would like to join the war party..lol's ...   but no.... no good would come of that...so I find myself being the peace maker.... trying to restore peace and  balance and a positive way forward... I  am quite good at this usually..., but I am struggling a bit at the moment.   I'm not a stranger to anxiety or stress..., and know how to beat them...,  but..., just because I know how to beat them...does not make it a simple task... it takes persistence and effort... I have been for a walk today.... I find that walking helps.... it helps burn off the physical stress energy..., and  I get peace and quiet...and can think things through...  I usually have a sounding board... @maggs224,  but i'm in England and she's in spain... ssooo,   I walked deep into the woods and said out loud .. aaarrrhhhhhh ... there was a sudden flutter of wings and shower of twigs and leaves..., as the birds that had been sitting in the trees singing, suddenly left...oooppps....,  sorry birds... I did that, because I think it's quite beneficial to vent, or what we do on here sometimes,  is to rant..., and say the things ...you'd like to say...but not too anyone,... so no damage gets done... but, you've said what you wanted to..., so it's not churning round inside you any more .... Then...,  having let out the pent up emotions and words ..., I work on replacing the peace and harmony within my spirit,  and  prepare myself  so I can be strong and positive when the need arises.... The post photo,  is mine, it is of the steps I walked up  to access the path in the woods, that I wanted to walk on...,  there were 71 steps... up...and 71 steps back down again at the end of the walk.... Any way.... all is well ..., and peace is restored.... sorry its such a long post.... But by sharing it...  it might help someone  else..who is dealing with stress,  or anxiety, or frustration.
