Want to know how you can bring peace to your life and the world?
With all the conflicts in the world today, sometimes peace can seem elusive. Perhaps you feel frustrated with war, aggression, and hostility. Those negative situations are not conducive to anyone’s best natural health or happiness. What can you, or anyone, do?
Turns out there are steps you can take to affect positive change.
As you might guess, those steps begin with you. This is truer than you realize, so I urge you to read on to learn more.
Take a deep and honest look at yourself.
Where in your heart do you harbor anger, resentment, hostility, aggression, even hatred? Perhaps you have been wronged, maybe even seriously so. Then there are the hurts, large and small, as well as the disappointments you have suffered.
Pretending they are not there simply feeds them.
When we don’t look at our negative emotions, they can grow larger and out of proportion. They take on a life of their own and begin affecting your life in negative ways.
Shine the light of your attention on them. Look at these difficult memories and situations.
Here’s the key- suspend your judgment of them.
If you can’t do this right away, do it in incremental pieces. Pretend you are an objective investigator studying the situation from afar.
This does not mean you deny the emotions you have.
Your emotions are valuable and vital signals telling you what is wrong and giving clues about what needs to change. Sometimes the changes you need to make are in your thoughts and attitudes about a situation. Sometimes your emotions signal a call to action to change your environment.
So, value your difficult emotions like a wise old friend. Tease out the truth and distortions in your feelings.
This leads naturally to looking at your emotions and the situation with empathy and compassion.
Cultivate this. How? Ask yourself questions. Why did you feel this way? What led up to this situation? Could you really have felt any differently? Probably not, but if you could have felt differently, why didn’t you? How did your feelings progress, especially in connection with the situation as it developed?
Be gentle, not harsh. Listen to yourself. What messages were your emotions giving you?
If you do this exercise a few times or more over time, you will find more information and understanding emerging. You will begin to feel a loosening and opening. In that opening, peace will begin to take root and grow.
Next, when you feel ready and more peace within yourself, do this exercise focused on others.
Try easy people first, i.e., people you love and like and feel good about. Then try people you struggle with, people you have problems with.
At the end of each time you do the exercise, send yourself and the other person peace in your thoughts, heart and as you breathe out.
As you practice this, you will find new understandings and new ways of being with people. You will be practicing peace in your own life.
Finally, do this exercise with group and world problems that disturb you.
You will find you think differently about them. You may be led to some new and unusual actions to take in regards to them. I will leave that mystery up to you to discover.
