I will be posting questions here to help you create your own inner peace.

Part of creating inner peace is recognizing where we already have a foundation, even from childhood. Part is to fill in the gaps we find. And of course, there is always shifting our perception to reevaluate those events that disturb us. Determining what we want to keep and what we want to change.

My approach was to first look at my life to see what applied to peace from childhood to adulthood and then look at what I learned when I was intentionally focused on inner peace. So the first set of questions are based on events from my childhood. The intent is to help you see where you already have a foundation and to spark ideas to improve upon.

One purpose of creating inner peace within yourself is to have a reservoir to dip into when you are in aggravating situations. I’m able to just repeat the word peace quietly within myself and touch the depth of inner peace that I have so far created. It gives me a frame a reference to remind me I can choose my reaction and to remind me of the choices I prefer. Or if I do get overwhelmed in the moment, it gives me a head start for returning to the balance I have achieved.
