“Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.”— Joan Boryenko
As the quote above says we have a choice to either practice stress or practice peace. We don’t have to react to an unpleasant event; instead we can be proactive and give peace a chance. When we react to an unpleasant event, our stress level increases, thus creates within us unnecessary hostility. When our stress level is high, this is a potential of depleting our self-respect, which leads quickly to hostility. First we must practice peace and that starts from within to know that we must come to an understanding that we have it within ourselves the power to change the world by first changing ourselves and then model that to those around us.
