Rest During This Time of Year Is Possible

I know people who take the entire month of December off of work, because they just don’t want to deal with the madness of the season. They instead plan for the upcoming year and give back to others during this time. This is one way to find rest during this busy season, but what about the rest of us who can’t get away for an entire month? How are we supposed to find rest in the midst of this busy season, and how can we do better with rest in the new year?

The answer is threefold:

#029: Have More Peace In Your Life

 

I am guessing that you have a lot going on your life. In fact, you may barely be hanging on for dear life, just hoping for life to somehow slow down and your want is that life will give you back margin in your schedule once again. If you are looking at life this way, you are looking at life from the wrong point of view. You need to look at life in a more positive view. The answer is not to somehow manage the craziness, but you need to learn to bring more peace into your life. That’s your answer.

Here are three ways to bring more peace into your life and view life in a more positive light:

1. Don’t be afraid to look at reality.

This may sound weird to look at reality, especially if you are in a struggle right now, but doing this is necessary to move on in life. You are not fully able to deal with the issues at hand, until you are able to look at your current reality. When you do this, you are able to take care of the issues at hand and deal with what is happening in your current reality. If your present circumstances are great, then it will be easier to look at. This point is to really speak to those of you in a current mess, and need a way out. Don’t be afraid to look at where you are currently at and start making a plan to move ahead to a more positive reality. Once you do this, you will feel more peaceful with your circumstances and learn to build resilience along the way. Do this and learn to see a more positive world around you.

2. Be quiet.

In the busy, noisy world that we all live in, we would all benefit from taking at least 10 minutes out of our days to meditate on God. You won’t be sorry you implemented this routine in your life and from it you will learn the power of being still. Being quiet not only allows you to think, but it also gives you more time to search yourself and prepare for what is ahead. In this time, it’s not a bad idea to do nothing. We all need to have time in our day where we just sit and be. Doing this will allow you to discover more peace and will help you live in more harmony than you do right now. There is power in being still and quiet.

3. Help others.

I couldn’t do this episode without including this point. We all need more reminders to do good for others. There is something peaceful that comes from doing good for the lives of others. When people receive the benefits from your help, you help bring peace to others and yourself. Do more good and see more peace lived out through everyone involved.

When you decide to look at your current reality no matter where you are at in life, when you decide to be quiet and still, and when you help others, you bring exponential levels of peace back into your life.

Do these three things to find more peace in your life, today.
