How to protect your inner peace in a chaotic world

The hardest part of being human isn’t surviving pain, it’s staying kind and open-hearted while you do.

When you witness cruelty, injustice, or ignorance, your mind wants to fight, to fix, to carry it all.

But if you let that weight settle inside you, it will dim your light.

Staying peaceful in a world that often isn’t doesn’t mean ignoring what’s wrong. It means learning to meet it with awareness instead of anger. To act from clarity, not chaos.

You don’t heal the world by letting it break you. You heal it by becoming the calm within it; the light that doesn’t go out.

What helps you stay grounded when everything feels too heavy?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

Sleep Hygiene

Sleep hygiene refers to practices that promote good sleep quality and overall well-being. It encompasses a set of habits and routines that help regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycle.

Last but not least, some benefits of good sleep hygiene include improved sleep quality, increased alertness and daytime productivity, reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes, improved mood and mental health, and enhanced immune function

Peace isn’t found in memories or worries — it’s found in presence. 🌱

Your mind loves to wander.

It replays old moments, wishing they could have gone differently.

It races ahead, imagining problems that haven’t even happened yet.

And when it does, you suffer not because of what’s happening now, but because of what your mind is telling you.

The past brings sadness.

The future brings anxiety.

But the present moment? That’s where peace quietly waits.

You can return to it anytime by taking one slow breath, noticing one sound, feeling one heartbeat.

That’s how you remind yourself: you are not your thoughts.

You are here.

Now.

Alive.

What helps you return to the present when your mind starts to wander?

🕊️ Peace isn’t found. It’s built.

We often wait for peace to arrive.

We think it’ll come when life calms down, when people change, when circumstances finally go our way.

But peace doesn’t fall from the sky.

It isn’t something that just happens to you.

It’s something you create.

You build peace every time you pause before reacting.

Every time you take a deep breath instead of lashing out.

Every time you choose understanding over judgment.

It’s not about escaping chaos.

It’s about learning to be calm within it.

Peace is a daily practice built through small, conscious actions that start with you.

What’s one peaceful action you can take today, no matter how small?

Stupid razzafraggin mighty app hates my unedited pics

Tuesday is PT. I'm not looking forward to it. It's been very painful.
Wednesday is my virtual appointment with my diabetes nutritionist. It's really easy and she's nice.
Then Thursday is gonna be crazy. In the morning I have an appointment with my BHH nutritionist. Instead of going to Meijer or Aldi I've decided I want to go to the Asian market in my town. There's exotic fruit and vegetables I love. This is gonna be so much fun. I've always loved Asian markets. One of the foods I want to get is udon noodles. I also want to get miso paste. I'm so excited!

Letting go doesn’t make you weak — it makes you whole again. 🌿

Holding onto anger feels powerful at first.

It feels like protection — like you’re standing up for yourself.

But over time, it doesn’t protect you.

It poisons you.

You replay what happened, you justify the resentment, you keep reopening a wound that wants to heal.

Forgiveness isn’t about saying what happened

was okay.

It’s about choosing peace over pain.

It’s about releasing the grip the past has on your heart.

You don’t forgive because they deserve it.

You forgive because you deserve to be free.

What’s one thing you’ve been holding onto that you’re ready to release?

Your potential grows the moment you believe in it. 🌙

Your mind will always try to convince you that you can’t.
That you’re not ready.
That other people are stronger, smarter, or more deserving.

But the truth is, every single thing you’ve ever accomplished started with one belief—you could.

Faith in yourself is the quiet force that moves mountains. It’s what turns doubt into direction and fear into action.

You can do anything in the universe.
You just have to believe that you can.

👉 What’s one thing you’ve stopped yourself from doing because you didn’t believe you could?

Every positive change starts with one small choice. 🌱

Change never happens all at once.
It begins quietly—with an intention

At first, it feels awkward. You have to remind yourself to do the thing that feels right. To breathe. To pause. To speak kindly to yourself. But over time, those small choices build into something greater.

Your thoughts shape your behaviors. Your behaviors shape your habits. Your habits shape your life.

And one day, without even noticing, you realize it’s no longer effort—it’s who you’ve become.

What’s one intention you can set for yourself today?

Invite stillness into your life

Your mind is constantly running—thinking, planning, analyzing, worrying. It doesn’t stop, and that’s why you feel so drained.

Stillness isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about creating space between your thoughts. It’s giving your mind a break from solving problems that don’t exist yet.

When you invite stillness into your life, you make room for peace to return. You think more clearly. You breathe more deeply. You begin to see that not every thought needs your attention.

The more you practice stillness, the more your mind learns that it’s safe to rest.

When was the last time you let your mind truly rest?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen.
