PEACE

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Peace is non-resistance to truth, essential to living your best life, and flows naturally from a deep understanding of the three universal characteristics of existence:  uncertainty, imperfection, and impermanence.

  • Embodied peace is the cumulative result of atomic habits that accept uncertainty, forgive imperfection, and relax with the insight of impermanence.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”—Lao Tzu

  • “Peace is when you stop expecting the world to be different than it is.”—Unknown

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

  • Which of the proven atomic habits have you found useful for cultivating peace?

    • Practice daily acceptance of what you cannot control (1-2 min)

    • Replace perfection daily with one “good enough” win.

    • Once per day quietly acknowledge: This will change.

    • Reduce one unnecessary source of mental clutter (news, social media, notification)

    • Sit quietly for 1-2 minutes doing nothing (no problem solving, past or future)

Namaste,

Duane Nelson
