After having practiced and taught mindfulness for 25 years,
This is one thing that we can do to find greater inner peace and reclaim a lot of power.
And that's to really look at life from a problem solving,
Solution oriented approach.
There's a lot of things in life that happen that are out of our control,
Most things.
But throughout our day,
We're always going to encounter obstacles.
And when we face those obstacles,
We can either kind of curl up,
Give up,
Feel helpless and overwhelmed.
Where we can avail ourselves of a degree of creativity,
Of empowerment.
And it doesn't solve every problem,
But the more that we can come at life from that way.
The more that we start to find ourselves feeling more empowered,
Because we can realize that even though each day brings us a lot of things that are outside of our control,
We can actually look at them from a problem-solving approach and fix a lot of them.
And curiously,
That also helps us really accept those things that we can't effect change towards,
That we can't solve.
So the more powerful we become,
The more peaceful we become.
