(DA) Serenity

Serenity, a place of comfort and peace. Everyone has a different idea of serenity. Serenity doesn't have to be calm, just peaceful.

I know a woman who is at her most peaceful surrounded by children at a daycare. I asked her "How can you find that peaceful?" She replied, "It's not quiet by any definition of the word, but there's no one to judge me. That's peaceful."

I know a gentleman whose serenity is in his library. He said he doesn't even need to be reading to find serenity in that library.

It's important to know what your serenity is so that when you are stressed or struggling with anything you can go to that place and recharge.

Is your serenity sitting outside and listening to birds?

Is your idea of serenity riding your bike or walking your dog? Maybe even going for a drive in your car, music blasting.

Maybe it's just cleaning dishes listening to your favourite music.

Whatever your serenity is, find it, and use it to give you peace and comfort, and therefore giving you strength and ability to handle stressful situations. This can help you avoid conflicts at work, fights at home and inner dialogue battles with yourself.
