Mental health, stress, and anxiety: we’ve all experienced these feelings.
I work to protect my peace.
What does that mean?
I’m careful about who is in my life, and I’m cautious about what I listen to because that goes directly to my mind.
Listen to today’s podcast with Dr. Gregg Jantz to learn his easy tips to help you protect your peace. He was very clear with me that there are things we can do daily to have more peace and, thus, better health. Here are some of my favorite tips that I do daily to create more peace in my life (all of my tips received a big thumbs up from Dr. J!). I’ve worked hard to surround myself with encouraging and kind people.
I’ve also canceled our television cable, which allows me to choose how and when I hear the news.
I had to recognize what I could control to guard my peace.
What I can control today:
- What I’m hearing.
- What I’m eating and drinking.
- How did I respond to negative situations or people?
- My attitude.
- That. Is. It.
Once I realized that I could control these things and only these things (newsflash, I had to learn I couldn’t control people), my stress levels started to change, and I found my joy returning.
Here’s the daily ritual I do to protect my peace:
- I start my day with a glass of water while I look out my window and not at my PHONE.
- I make a cup of coffee and walk outside, rain or shine, and look toward the sun, not at the sun as that can damage your eyes.
- I return inside and read my Bible and write in my gratitude journal.
- I take five deep breaths and do a little bit of stretching at the top of every hour.
