My Inner Peace Is Non-negotiable

That morning she got up, just like she does every morning, but as she went to the bathroom to wash her face, she could feel that something had changed. As she stood in front of the mirror, something deep inside, an intense power, had a message for her: I am your inner peace, and it’s time you took a look at me.

She had just gone through a few bad months, with a lot of ups and downs, and basically she had completely lost the desire to receive gifts or nice gestures from the world around her. She knew, however, that her inner voice was right: it was time to prioritize, to reassess what really mattered, because everything she had had long since been erased.

It is quite possible that there were millions of obstacles around her that prevented her from developing the art of looking at herself, but at last she was able to understand that looking at herself, at least once a day, could be very good for her sense of well-being. In addition, it would be a kind of ‘post-it’ in her memory that read: ‘It’s that time of day again to get out of the forest that surrounds you, jump on a balloon, and look at the view from above. ‘.

Wings instead of brakes

During the day she always had moments where she reflected on her situation. First of all, she realized how difficult it really is to pursue your goal in life. We live in a society where we are forced to interact with other people and are always busy, leaving our minds with no time to think about our interests in a clear way. As if it would be a sin to consciously and deliberately monitor these interests, as if this were a clear sign of our selfishness.

But it wasn’t just that. She had had to fight in her life against the most terrible monsters ever created, and these monsters had terrified her and grief had taken over her life. They had brought tears to her eyes, longing to her heart and breakdowns to her mind.

She’d also had to deal with wrong decisions, cunning circumstances, and awkward moments over which she lost control, slipping through her fingers as if they were made of water. She couldn’t forget the times when she went through life blindfolded, a blindfold put on her by people who wanted to lead two lives, their own and hers.

But life’s best goals aren’t always easy, and this one wouldn’t be easy either: the pain was inevitable and maybe even courageous, but it was high time her suffering ended and it wasn’t precious time. could waste more that she would never get back.

Choose what you want to be

At that moment she remembered something she had read somewhere a while ago: that we are what we try to be and so, for that very reason, we have to be very careful with our choice. This was exactly what she needed to prioritize in her life: doing this would be an act consistent with these priorities and help remove the discord that keeps our minds and actions out of alignment.

It all started with a choice: to leave behind the things that held her to the ground, to tell herself more often that she was special, and to keep her light close to herself – the light coming from the sight was kept. After all, she was the one who had to defend her dreams, the best ally of her self-confidence, and she had people in her life who always managed to enlighten her with their affection.

She wanted to be someone who understood that her inner peace needed to find her place in this world and to stay connected to her. While shopping, smile at the baker who lives two blocks away, be grateful for the small details, and give love to her loved ones. Only then would she be able to bring that balance back into her life and silence the monsters.

Inner peace is not a possibility, it is a right

In the days that followed, she realized what that deep voice she’d heard really meant: she has a right to be okay, and that was not a negotiable option. She had to fight for her serenity, her calm, her inner peace, as only then would she be able to find a little happiness in all that was left.

It was well worth it to find a way to obtain this happiness, especially since her state of well-being showed her that inner peace ‘is in one’s self’, knowing that you are happy with what you have, what you do and what you share. From that moment on, she promised herself that she would look in the mirror every morning forever, that way she would never forget these new insights.
