Dear friends,

Guarding inner peace involves cultivating practices that foster calm, clarity, and emotional stability.
You might ask, ” how can I do that during a chaotic world”?, ” teenagers who are not listening”, ” a sudden challenging health diagnosis”, ” my husband eating poorly when I am trying to be healthy”.

Finding calm is not a destination, it’s a response chosen for your own well-being.

Who is the guardian of your inner peace? Here are some thoughtful ways to cultivate this very precious inner state.

1. Practicing meditation daily to stay present and reduce mental clutter.
   As you learn to watch your thoughts, you gain the power to change them.
2. Set Boundaries- protect your energy by saying no to people, activities, or environments that drain you.
3. Limit media consumption- reduce social media time and negative news.
4. Get adequate rest- prioritizing rest is key to restoring your body and mind!
5. Gratitude Practice- focus on what’s going well. You may want to write it down before bed, even in difficult times to maintain a balanced perspective.
6. Treat yourself with compassion and kindness. Pause with a cup of tea and breathe.
7. Spend time in nature- being outdoors helps ground yourself and release stress.

with fierce love,
Gedalia
