"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." ~ Martin Luther King Jr. \xa0 There's a lot going on in the world today that is cause for stress. In fact, you may wonder if you'll ever feel at peace in the world again. In this week's series, you'll discover ways to feel at peace in the world regardless of what's going on around you. As the end of the year approaches and with Christmas celebrated this week, tensions can run high as we maneuver around cherished traditions that now require social distancing from loved ones.\xa0 This week is also a week to discover how not to take things so personally and how to roll with the punches a little more. \xa0 This is part 3 of a 7-part Peace On Earth meditation series, episodes 2187-2193. \xa0 THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Peace Quest. Every day this week, focus on not taking things so personally. To do this, try not to focus on "I" statements. If you are stressed about the insensitive way someone spoke to you, for example, instead of thinking, "I can't believe she said that! Instead, try reframing your thoughts to a more objective stance such as, "She must be stressed. She probably didn't mean to say that to me." You'll be surprised by how much peace on earth de-personalizing things can bring to you! \xa0 THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: \xa0 Day 1:\xa0 \xa0Peace Visualization Day 2:\xa0 Affirmation "Peace is all around me."
