How difficult is it to maintain a state of inner calm when the world seems to be falling apart?
We live in a world of high stimuli, both physically and emotionally. It isn’t easy to find the calm within. This has been one of my biggest learning’s, to let go, and surrender so that I can feel my inner calm. Life is going to be life, and what life looks like is many highs and many lows. It isn’t going to be relaxing and blissful all the time and hopefully isn’t chaotic all the time. We usually get a mix of both. The biggest challenge that we have is to allow an acceptance for the lows in our life and be able to remain calm during them.
When I am around people that have the ability to be calm during chaos, I notice that it helps my energetic field be calm. The worst part about not being able to maintain this place of peace when life isn’t peaceful, is that I make poor decisions from this state of nervousness. I make much better decisions when I am unruffled without adrenaline pumping through my body.
When we get knocked off balance by disturbing things that happen in our world, it will be hard for us to lean into a higher place being. Our thoughts are not reliable when we aren’t in our higher mind. When we are buying into that our safety is out there, it pushes fear inside of us. When we are in a state of fear, we will be making all of our decisions from a fear-based place, not a love based place.
When we can come into a composed state and locate that stillness within, we will live in our hearts more, thereby making our decisions from a totally different place. When we are able to do this it makes it so much simpler to show up for people when they are having difficulties in their life. If we are in a state of confusion and chaos, and someone comes to us for assistance, we will project all of our fear on to them therefore pushing them away. If someone comes to us in an emotional state and we cannot be with our own emotions, they will know energetically that we would not be able to show up for theirs.
I think it helps to just know that life is going to happen and that there are going to be struggles and to surrender to life being life. When we can surrender to whatever life is, it allows us to stay in a more serene place of being. If we realize that life isn’t always going to be sweet and cuddly, then we won’t get upset when it’s not.
