So much happens in the course of a day that is beyond our control. There are 100 ways to respond. And only 1 way that feels right.
Overslept. Choose peace.
Ran out of coffee. Choose peace.
Stuck in traffic. Choose peace.
Missed a deadline. Choose peace.
Technology overload. Choose peace.
Nonstop meetings. Choose peace.
Bossy coworker. Choose peace.
Burnt dinner. Choose peace.
Argument with spouse. Choose peace.
Children acting up. Choose peace.
Unable to sleep. Choose peace.
Let peace begin with me.🌷

Thriving Under Pressure 
Yes! So often we give our choices (and freedom) over to the situation. Forgetting (stress does that to us) that we are the one in control of our emotions. Not “them”. “Choose peace” is a great mantra for snapping us out of our stress amnesia. If only for a brief peaceful moment.✨
Love this..so simple if we want to make it simple?
Simple sometimes.
Challenging most times.
But always worth it.🌷
Beautiful inspiring post. .and very true. .
Thanks Anindya! Our challenge this week (and our opportunity) is to remember our peace. Especially in the height of frustration. One long deep breath at a time. 🌿

I’ve been focused on practicing inner peace this last year. It is hard to stay focused on choosing peace through every situation, BUT it’s worth it! Thank you for sharing this reminder!
My pleasure! We are on the same path. That’s the beauty of our response (and our blogs). We have the choice to simplify or complicate issues – every moment of the day. #Breathe 🍃
Agreed!

Beautifully said Dr. Andrea. ♥️
Thank you! ☀️
Love this post! And you do this so well, spread peace! Finding center, is so important to our emotional health. Another great post! Thank you….
I love how you write — “Finding center, is so important to our emotional health.” Amen soul sister! Your reflections & your encouragement bring me one step closer to mine. ⭕️ ♥️
Thank you! Yes we seem to be soul sisters! Your posts do the same for me.
Peace is a beautiful thing. This speaks like the words of John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” I love this verse! Thank you, Andrea, for reminding me of it, and for sharing this encouragement. The chuckle was relaxing too. 🙂
