One of my biggest challenges right now is to protect my peace. I have a hard time simply because of sooooo many things that tries to steal it from me. My soul is worried and thoughts are spinning, desperately trying to organize chaos, searching solutions for problems I can hardly comprehend. I know I share this unrest with millions of others right now, in these times of uncertainty and disturbance. Not knowing what kind of disastrous news that comes next, when scrolling news anxiously on the phone. Trying to keep up but and understand what´s going on, but feeling the exact opposite. I´m exhausted trying to navigate through all this crazy stuff day by day.

Who has coping skills enough to navigate through this turmoil? We all have to adapt quickly to new realities, to be able to protect ourselves mentally. Old solutions might be outdated. New strategies are needed. To avoid being overwhelmed it might be a good idea to allow oneself to withdraw a little bit. To pause without overthinking, slow down breathing. Stop scrolling and fokus on something else than problems, something that gives you good energy or joy. Remind yourself that you have the right to choose what you allow into your system. It´s okej to recharge and close your eyes. And just enjoy the present in the middle of everything. A moment of peace can be found in the smallest of things, even in a stone like this, in a window sill.
