"Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions."
— Pema Chodron
Life is a series of chapters which contains different struggles and challenges that we need to overcome in every page before we could flip things over to proceed the next page until we reach the final chapter of our lives, and finally closed the book about us. It's a roller coaster of surprises which we have to face either we're prepared for it or not. Just thinking about the future and to analyze if we can handle it, surely, only that can make us anxious enough and stressed a lot over it.
Adulting is hard and much harder if you're responsible to most of the things around you. When you're trying to make ends meet for the sake of everybody under the roof you're sharing with while striving hard to thrive as individual, pressure will pushed you to the edge and test how you can hold your sanity amidst the adversities. Life is just like the hustles and bustles of the city, it's relentless and fast paced, before you can manage to walk the bridge carefully, there's another hindrances coming your way. If you're not strong enough to face the current, you'll be sweep away by the waves of unending stress and get drowned lamenting in your thoughts if you can't manage how to handle things happening in your daily life.
In this blog, this question, "Mindfulness: How do you achieve inner peace despite busy life and daily struggles?", from @jane1289 is what I ought to answer and share some insights with.
Just like what the quote says above, you can only achieve inner peace if you wouldn't allow things to affect you negatiively. I believe in it, since I have been practicing that for almost 2 years now. Yes, I only came to realized that recently because just like any other young ones, I was once immature and sensitive to everything.
Life is hard, there are struggles and that's given. Who in the world is not struggling, right? The question there is, what will you do to maintain inner peace under pressure?
In my case, I need to remain calm in most situations. In all those years, I have known that there's nothing good could result from deciding out of a whim when you're in a peak of intense emotions. Poor decisions makes poor results. Hence, I made mistakes which lead on some situations in my life to become worse. That's why, I've learned to be calm and be more patient in most cases, so I could think efficiently and do better which gives me a peaceful environment in return.

All the photos are mine indulging myself with a peaceful surroundings than stressing on some things that aren't good for my mental health.
Not all situations or people is tolerable enough that we can just turn a blind eye and let it slip everytime because of some unnecessary sentimental reasons. It's best to walk away or even burn bridges if needed and if that's the only way to maintain your inner peace.
Sometimes, it's best to cut off people from our lives if it means that they will make our lives chaotic. It's fine to walk away from situations that is not worth exhausting our energy for. We have to choose the right battle and it's okay to choose peace for ourselves.
Remember our quote in the beginning, no one or nothing can't destroy our peaceful thoughts if we wouldn't allow it. Let's safeguard our mental health and prioritize taking care of ourselves.

Lately, I've been cutting ties like never before. If protecting my peace means losing a few connections, then so be it. Sometimes, your sanity has to come first. 👿😆
Pretty same. It doesn't mean that we're blood related or have known each other for years don't mean they can just do whatever they want with us, or even disrespect in some way. It doesn't give them the authority to do any forms of abuse.
Pag di na tama, goodbye. 😅🥴
True! Di sila kawalan charot hahaha
I recently cut off some people from my life for the same reason. I don't like explaining to everyone my real situation. What I don't like the most are those judging you without knowing the real reason. Better be off with them than stick around with daily mental stress.
You're such a brave and responsible one at a young age. You surely know how to handle things in life. Keep it up !LADY

If in order to have peace we must eliminate some things in our lives, then it is better to keep them in the trunk of our memories.
