Protect Your Peace Of Mind

“Keep constant guard over your perceptions for it is no small thing you are protecting but your respect, trustworthiness and steadiness , peace of mind, freedom from pain and fear in a word, your freedom. For what would you sell these things ?

“Protect your peace of mind”, invites us to evaluate our lives. Even if we have tools in place to fight against stress, anger, or depression, resorting to them on a daily basis might indicate that we need to change something.

Most of us go through stressful situations in our lives. For this reason, it’s important to have tools to be able to cope with them.

Stoicism is one of those tools for me. It’s not the only one. Meditation and exercise are essential weapons in my anti-stress arsenal.

Yours might be different, of course. Reading, philosophy, a moment of peace at your favorite cafe etc.

Every little concern or nervous wreck, every time we get upset or suffer a stress episode, steals some time from us. We can endure this only so much before we get depleted of life.

We need to protect our peace of mind, and do it by making conscious decisions that will make us happier and take us through a path that brings serenity to our lives.
