<p>Hi Marion,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I use exactly the same practice, funny that you mention it here. It is so powerful to watch our thoughts and gain some 'control' over them. We don't have to be the 'slave' of our thinking, we choose our thoughts and we choose to continue to think this or that. :-) sometimes it seems like we don't have the choice or it is hard to change.</p>

<p>Hi there!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have discovered that practicing love and respect for my own person has helped me a lot to cultivate peace within myself and with the rest of the humanity and the Earth. It is not only about accepting myself; it is also about liking me and respecting me as it is.

<p>Hi there!</p>

<p>I have discovered that practicing love and respect for my own person has helped me a lot to cultivate peace within myself and with the rest of the humanity and the Earth. It is not only about accepting myself; it is also about liking me and respecting me as it is. I learnt that feeling angry with myself for making a mistake only helped more fear, anger and violence grow within me. I think making negative statements about oneself, even more when not saying it all loud, works against developing appreciative and loving feelings towards other people and towards life in general and in all its forms.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I am so stupid”, “why did I say that”, “why did I do that”, “I am so slow”, “I am too shy”, “I am too fat”, “I should shut up”, “I should have done it differently”, “I am not worth it”... I think those are judgments that we are all so used to do, silently, in our own head. Taking conscience of it when it happens and understanding that they are merely judgments and do not correspond to who I really am, has had some sort of a magical effect in me. Smiling lovingly at myself when it (still) happens and kindly thinking “here I go, I am doing it again”, is often enough to stop more negative feelings come and invade me. This is one of the simple things that help me feel at peace with myself.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I love to read how we all work so hard to find peace in ourselves and in the world at large. Please let’s keep sharing here!</p>

I'ved been a neophyte in peace work, had some ooportunities to share my knowledge to some people especially in grassroots level, teaching diffirent tools on how to achieve peace, it its a great challenge for me to show in deeds all the things that im teaching.

I'ved been a neophyte in peace work, had some ooportunities to share my knowledge to some people especially in grassroots level, teaching diffirent tools on how to achieve peace, it its a great challenge for me to show in deeds all the things that im teaching. It takes a strong foundation for you to live and become an example of your own teachings. As peaceworker/community worker lets always go back to ourselves from time to time, lets ourselves be a good foundation in order for us to be more equip and ready for whatever challenges that will come along as we journey towrds our passion. I'm a Christian maybe I would say that my main source of my strength is my God, with great belief that He will take good care of me no matter what and make make an inspiration for others. God bless everyone. :) Hello everyone!

<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>I enjoyed reading this post and all the responses. This is such a moment to moment struggle, coming into and maintaining peace, yes?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For me, it starts with silence. To have peace you must be able to revel in silence. I find it's nice to have a starting point, a baseline if you will, to tap into my peace daily.

I sit or lay down in stillness after prayer (for those who do not pray, that is fine) and reading. To be generic, my point is to take stillness and positive, peaceful nurturing to excite, repair and develop the peaceful self.</p>

<p>I love re-defining the well known proverb that "all good things come to an end". My version of this is "all good things come to an end if they are not replenished." Therefore, my peace is not an ending, but a continuum and the more of it I seek after, the more of it I will have.</p> Dear Rebeka;
