Do you feel overly stressed or anxious these days? You’re not alone. We are surrounded by waves of change, chaos, and fear. From the headlines on the six o’clock news to the endless scroll of social media—or even just a casual conversation at the local coffee shop—it can feel like a never-ending storm. The weight of the world’s problems presses down on us, leaving us anxious, drained, and uncertain.
It’s overwhelming. But here’s the truth: you are not powerless.
You have the ability to create peace in your personal environment. You can rise above the turbulence and ignite the light within you—the very light that the world so desperately needs.
As a modern-day Renaissance woman, I strive to guide others to reconnect with their divine light so they can walk with hope, peace, and joy. So let’s explore how you can take control of your energy, protect your inner peace, and build a life that radiates calm and balance.
Step One: Take Control of Your Energy
In a world filled with external noise, it’s essential to take simple, intentional steps to reclaim your peace. Chaos is everywhere, but that doesn’t mean it has to live within you. Start with small yet powerful actions:
1. Set Boundaries with Information Intake
The news cycle is designed to keep you hooked—with a constant stream of updates, often highlighting negativity. The more you consume, the more your energy is pulled into that cycle of fear and uncertainty. To break the cycle, try this:
Stop watching the news after 6 PM. Give your mind a chance to unwind before bed. The headlines will still be there tomorrow.
Reduce doomscrolling. Social media can be an endless rabbit hole of negativity. Set time limits, and be intentional about what you consume.
Choose your conversations wisely. If discussing world events leaves you feeling anxious rather than informed, politely shift the topic or excuse yourself.
2. Create a Peaceful Evening Routine
Your energy at night sets the tone for the next day. How you unwind matters. Therefore, try incorporating these habits into your nightly routine:
Turn off your phone and shut down your computer two hours before bed. Your brain needs time to disconnect from digital stimulation.
Light a candle in a safe container. The soft glow of a candle creates an atmosphere of peace and presence.
Listen to calming music. Sound influences your emotions. Gentle, soothing music can slow your heartbeat and relax your mind.
Lose yourself in a good book. Reading allows your mind to escape, reset, and recharge. Choose something uplifting.
These small steps are just the beginning. If you’re longing for long-term peace and balance, deeper tools await—tools that lead you to the light inside you.
Step Two: Embrace the Seven Principles of Peace
Throughout history, symbols have served as reminders of deeper truths. The cover of my book, Looking Within: Discover Seven Principles Leading to Hope, Peace, and Joy, features powerful symbols—each representing a tool that can guide you toward a more peaceful existence. These tools are simple yet profound, and they have the power to transform your life from within.
1. Prayer: The Power of Connection
Every time you pray, your heart calms and aligns with the Divine. Prayer isn’t about reciting perfect words; it’s about connection. Whether through traditional prayers, spontaneous conversation, or moments of gratitude, prayer shifts your focus from fear to faith.
If you don’t know where to start, simply say: “I release my worries and welcome peace.”
2. Meditation: The Gift of Stillness
Meditation isn’t about emptying your mind—it’s about quieting the noise so you can hear your own heart.
Find a quiet space.
Close your eyes.
Take deep breaths.
Focus on your heart center.
Even five minutes a day can create noticeable shifts. In stillness, you connect with a peace that has always been within you.
3. Creativity: A Divine Expression
Whether it’s painting, dancing, writing, or knitting, creativity is a powerful channel to the Divine. Creativity brings joy, and joy brings peace.
If you love music, sing.
If you love colors, paint.
If you love words, write.
Your soul craves creative expression. When you create, you are tapping into something greater than yourself.
4. Reading: Nourish Your Mind with Light
What you read influences your thoughts. Choose books that uplift, inspire, and transform. Whether fiction or nonfiction, the right words can shift your energy and fill your soul with light.
Consider books that encourage growth, faith, and resilience. The stories you consume shape the story you live.
5. Journaling: A Sacred Conversation with Yourself
Journaling is more than writing—it’s an intimate conversation with your Creator, a place to sort through emotions, dreams, and revelations. It’s meditation, prayer, and creativity combined.
Not sure what to write? Start with:
Today, I feel…
Right now, I am grateful for…
My soul is telling me…
The more you write, the more you’ll discover the wisdom already inside you.
6. Walking in Nature: The Wisdom of the Earth
Sometimes, the answers you seek are found in the simplest moments. Walking in nature grounds you, calms your nervous system, and brings clarity.
Walk in silence.
Feel the breeze.
Listen to the sounds of life around you.
Nature has a way of restoring what the modern world depletes. Let it guide you back to peace.
7. Crossing the Bridge to Your Heart’s Center
This is where it all comes together. True peace isn’t something you chase—it’s something you uncover within. The more you engage with these tools, the more you move toward the light, joy, and tranquility that reside deep within you.
Your Journey from Chaos to Calm so You can Find Peace
The path from chaos to calm, from uncertainty to joy, may seem distant at times. Some days, it might feel like the noise of the world is too loud, too overwhelming. But here’s what you must remember:
Every tool you use, every small step you take, brings you closer to that peaceful, joyful place within.
Transformation is not a one-time event—it’s a journey. With every prayer, every moment of stillness, every act of creativity, you are moving from darkness into light.
And as you carry that light within you, you’ll not only find peace for yourself—you’ll become a beacon of peace for others.
Brighter days are ahead, filled with hope, peace, and joy.
Trust the light within you. It knows the way.
