Today I choose to be at peace.
I have had too much anxiety flowing through my blood lately. I cannot do that anymore. Today I choose to be at peace.
I am no longer willing to allow self-destructive thought patterns to get in the way of my serenity.
Today I choose to be at peace.
I remember visiting Canyon de Chelly with my children: a favorite place for spiritual reawakening and profound joy, a place I have not visited nearly enough.
Today, I choose to be at peace.
When I revisited photos from our visit, I don’t look very peaceful and I wonder what was happening in my heart at the time. Perhaps my love of travel and my children was overshadowing the fear that is sometimes a companion when I am traveling as the lone adult, being the responsible one, being the guide the Sherpa, the tour guide, the doctor, the negotiator the solid rock – that is a lot, agreeably so when it is looked at and examined.
And the trip, though rocky in moments, was a success – filled with primarily positive memories.
Today, I choose to be at peace.
I hear a train whistle in the distance, I feel my heart warm in my chest. Today, I choose to be at peace.
What do you choose to be today? Practice engaging with your choice by writing for 5 minutes, first, repeating your choice as I did here, and allowing your pen or pencil or fingers on the keyboard to create word flow for that tiny slice of time.
