Finding peace within, even when everything around us feels uncertain.

I had a timely question – with everything going on in the world, how can we remain calm? Good question.

Even when the world or our lives are in chaos, we can still have inner peace and stay calm.

Finding Peace in the Middle of Chaos

I have a friend Eric whose life has been in chaos for almost a decade due to managing the care and well-being of many sets of parents, all of whom he’s in charge of. He is navigating all of their lives, and his, all at the same time. And yet when I speak with Eric, I get an overwhelming sense of calm.

People who maintain their sense of calm when things around them are confusing are always a joy to be around. We feel at peace just being near them, as if they have activated our own sense of inner peace. From them, we learn that we too can be calm, even when everything around us is in turmoil because we know that no matter what happens, this inner sense of calm will help us to function well.

The Stillness at the Center of the Storm

Often, times of confusion help us find the part of ourselves that knows how to cope and be a light to others in the storm. If we can locate the stillness at the center of our hearts, in the center of our souls, we can find composure in almost any situation. In addition, we provide a safe place for our friends and family, who are also prone to taking on the confusion of a world in flux.

Inner Calm Is Something We Practice

Most of us just want to find our way to peace with whatever happens, and we can find that peace inside. Cultivating our inner calm can be as simple as developing a meditation practice, journaling, and reading words that inspire us, going out in nature and planting our feet in grass every day, developing a routine, and moving our chi every day with exercise; this will lead us to that place inside us that’s already there, just waiting for us to discover it.

Peace isn’t always found in changing our circumstances. Sometimes it’s found in changing how we meet them.

And that place of calm we’ve been searching for?
