Enjoy Four Kinds of Peace

Last updated on: August 11, 2013 at 8:00 am By Rick Hanson

"Peace" can sound merely sentimental or clichéd ("visualize whirled peas"). But deep down, it's what most of us long for. Consider the proverb: The highest happiness is peace. Not a peace inside that ignores pain in oneself or others, or is acquired by shutting down. This is a durable peace, a peace you can come home to even if it's been covered over by fear, frustration, or heartache. When you're at peace - when you are engaged with life while also feeling relatively relaxed, calm, and safe - you are protected from stress, your immune system grows stronger, and you become more resilient. Your outlook brightens and you see more opportunities. In relationships, feeling at peace prevents overreactions, increases the odds of being treated well by others, and supports you in being clear and direct when you need to be.The post Enjoy Four Kinds of Peace appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson.
