Peace doesnât always show up the way we think it will during hard times.
It doesnât have to look like being totally zen while experiencing something big, painful, and challenging. (Most likely that would be a form of denial or resistance.)
Peace can instead look like riding the waves of life and honoring your emotions as they arise. Honoring when you are tired (even though your mind tells you that you havenât done anything strenuous).
Peace can be taking time to work out, go for a walk, or sit outside first thing in the morning.
It can look like tears. It can look like laughter. It can simply be doing your best to stay present for whatever arises (as best as you can).
And holding yourself with love and compassion.
This is what peace can look like.
It can be different than you expected â and it can be exactly what it is for you.
