Peace

My peace of mind means everything to me.  I find the older and wiser I get, the more I run away, and I mean run, from situations and people that "bring the drama." Being around upheaval is draining. I even noticed when you see people that thrive on drama, it shows up on their faces, meaning they look old and unhappy. Inner- peace is what matters. Research has shown over and over what having that sense of well-being can and will do for you: A better outlook on life in general. Better relations with family and co-workers. Better Health AND a "Youthful" outlook on life. Peace, it does a body good. So what should we do to get this peace? My first move was to stay away from the drama seekers. They are like junkies, always looking for their next fix of  the melodramatic and if they don't find it; they WILL create. I put a no douchebag sign up. Douchebags are in the drama junkie family, except meaner.  I banned gossip and gossipers! This is key to the peace of mind workout plan. Gossiping starts drama on so many levels: You talk about someone, your cohorts are there, they then relay everything you said( or didn't say) to the person being talked about. DRAMA ensues.  My rule of thumb is this, if I am so concerned about someone, I will talk to them. Face to face, like a real grown-up. We say peace instead of goodbye, we make the peace sign to people, it is a sign known all over the world. We say peace and love in the same breath to other people, but how much of this peace do we bring in our own lives? What do we need to do to have it? Remember: You and your mental and physical health are and should be top priority. So find peace. Be peaceful.
Peace.
