Hello everyone, welcome or welcome back to Women Empowering Women’s third blog post, thank you for your time. You being here doesn’t only show me that you want to support me but it also shows me that you want to empower yourself and other women as well and that’s outstanding so thank YOU.
In this post I want us to completely understand and learn more about peace, us being at peace with ourselves and of course, with everything and everyone else around us.
What is peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility, but what is peace in simple words:
Peace is a time without any fights or wars.
In a larger sense, peace (or peacefulness) can mean a state of harmony, quiet or calm that is not disturbed by anything at all, like a still pond with no ripples.
It’s not every day that we think about our peace, or how it affects us right? Yes, but the moment you realize how peaceful your life is, you will always want to be at peace. I know from experience. A year ago I never thought about peace or the word on its own, yet I always heard entrepreneurs, businesswomen/ men, and many other people talk about how important our peace is and I never really put much thought into it.
For instance, I have a three-year-old baby sister and sometimes she cries for no reason - or maybe I just don’t know why she crying, and at some point, I had gotten used to her crying until I didn’t see her for about two weeks, I was in a quiet place for two weeks and in that amount of time I understood what peace is, it’s not just your surroundings being quiet its also your mind and soul being quiet. Now every time my baby sister cries I feel like I need to cry to or at least hide because I feel like my peace is being withdrawn from me, but because I love my sister I help her calm down.
Peace is a product of a positive mental attitude, while violence is the result of negative thinking. Peace is the natural state of society; violence is an unnatural state. Peace is as much by nature's plan as violence is against it. … Peace is thus central to the life of the believer.
There are many other types of peace in the world, besides armed conflicts.
But I will list a few I am familiar with, but feel free to search more about other types of peace.
A peaceful home.
A peaceful home is similar to what I just said about my sister crying all the time- that isn’t peaceful, but it can also mean when someone is playing hip-hop or any other loud music while you want some peace of quiet.
A healthy study or work environment.
There are tons of ways that people study but I want my surroundings to be dead silent when I am studying especially if I am only getting started with my study work, even though I don’t necessarily feel at peace when it’s quiet, I can concentrate.
Walking the streets in safety.
When you walk down the streets of your neighborhood do you feel safe, do you feel like you can walk for hours? If you do that means you feeling safe in your neighborhood, some sort of peace - peace with your neighborhood.
Finding peace with yourself.
Finding peace with yourself is the most important for me, it’s almost like my previous blog self-love, if you love yourself you will be at peace with yourself.
Being at peace with yourself simply means that you can focus on your natural energy of joy. ... When you can learn to feel this intuitive source of stillness, you will also feel an overwhelming sense of peace, happiness, and love, which cannot be overcome by the circumstances around you.
Peace is also an emotion
Across all cultures, and throughout all human time, we share the same six emotions – sadness, anger, fear, joy, love, and peace. ... Just look at the word “emotion,” and you can see “e-motion,” or “energy in motion.” Each emotion produces a different sensation in our bodies and has a different physical expression. Peace is one of them.
Have you ever heard of meditating or even just ‘being with nature’?
Meditating is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm, and stable state.
I have tried meditating, it’s hard to concentrate when first practicing it but it becomes easier, although I am not so fond of mediating anymore, how unfortunate.
Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, but it also contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones.

here’s a little sneak peek of a video coming out today and in the video, I show a clip of myself being on my balcony and just sitting there for about 20 minutes, I love sitting on my balcony and I feel like I recharge my peace. Also, in nature, you will most probably hear birds chirping but on my balcony, I hear cars passing by and I love that sound, although on Sundays I don’t hear that sound
Peace is about resolving conflict without violence. Respect for local culture and belief in the power of local capacities, ideas, and solutions. Trust between people is a critical foundation for lasting peace. Integrity is ensuring that we are principled, forthright, and sincere.
six ways to achieve inner peace.
Accept What Is. Whatever is happening in the present moment, say “yes” to it. …
Practice Non-judgment. …
Transform Your Addictions Into Preferences. …
Teach Your Mind to Become Still. …
Practice Mindfulness. …
Use Your Willpower to Choose Thoughts that Make You Feel at Peace.
I encourage you to search for your inner peace, peace is somewhat something spiritual if you let it be but it is mostly something emotional and mental which are two things you should take care of.
Keep in mind when you finally value your peace, it doesn’t mean everyone around you will value it just as you do so it will be like two different worlds in a battle with two different things, but both worlds will continue to crash into each other.
