5 ways to find inner peace in the most stressful circumstances
Plan for deadlines and allow what you are doing in the moment to be enough.My dog Scout is never plagued by the idea that she’s not getting enough done Unlike me, her human buddy, I seriously doubt that multiple responsibilities have ever filled her with theor that she’s letting everyone down. If I could hear what Scout was thinking, it would sound more like, “I love you,” “throw the ball,” and “more peanut butter,” and less like existential dread.
How do we do that? So much about peace of mind is not about changing circumstances but changing how we perceive them. The key shift is not to figure out how to clear the inbox. In fact, you may have noticed that if you are fast and efficient at work, people will give you more work. The solution involves understanding the situation differently. Let me use an analogy to explain: If you are standing in a stream fishing, for example, think about the fish that’s swimming towards you. Don’t think about fish that may or may not come your way soon or the snake that may find you., I’ve learned from those traditions that it is healthy and life-sustaining to engage fully in what you are doing rather than in what you may do later.
By all means, mark your calendar for when the grades are due so that you’ll know that it's okay to put the papers aside right now. Then you’ll feel more confident that your essential responsibilities will be met in due course. You won’t need to be constantly reminding yourself of the next items on your calendar.I’ll leave you with one last lesson from the yoga mat and/or meditation cushion: the lesson of holding on and letting go.
