Have you reached that point where you just want to stay in your room or some private place away from the everyday foolishness? It’s like silly drama or misunderstandings are just coming through your door with special VIP access to your life. No matter how hard you try to be peaceful or positive it’s to no avail.

If you are ready to move forward and keep your sanity while not having to “lose your religion” as we say in slang terms, then let’s try a few of these methods:

  1. Stay true to who you are. If everyone around you expects you to “act” a certain way while they are free to act out; then be willing to express yourself in an honest and sincere way. You have to be fair to yourself if you are going to be fair with others. In a sports game the coach usually calls a timeout when his team is not performing up to standards or if the other team is getting the best of his. The timeout is needed to slow the momentum and talk about a strategy. Well, in this case be willing to ask the person(s) to allow you an opportunity to share a different approach or thought in the midst of what is happening.
  2.  Look at the situation from the other person’s perspective. When we look in the mirror sometimes we are focusing on specific areas of our physical image. But when we are looking at others we tend to see everything about that person physically without limitation. So, take your time and understand with “patience” what this person may be dealing with. Sometimes people are simply in need of someone to understand them.
  3. Ask yourself simple questions. We have seen the phrase of WWJD (What Would Jesus Do). And this is used to guide us on how to handle situations by reflecting on the behavior and nature of Jesus and how he handled difficult challenges. Well we can also make reference to WWJD  for another phrase which is Wrong Ways Just Dumb. In other words, acting or behaving in an “ugly” or negative way serves no purpose in the long-term so take a moment to be still and allow the positive side of your conscious to lead the way.

Be mindful that we exercise our physical bodies through various repetitions to build up our core muscles so it’s going to take faithful mental repetitions to deal with the drama around us. We have to be strategic even in our thought process. So, let’s be diligent about keeping our peace of mind because the world needs more peace and less foolishness.
