Dreams That Aren’t Mine

  Ever since I was little, I’ve heard stories—of great successes, of glorious victories, of bright worlds waiting to be conquered. I was raised with the idea that dreams are our guiding light, that they are the engine of life, that we move forward through them. But over time, I began to feel that some of those dreams weren’t mine. They seemed to belong to someone else, to an image built from the expectations of others—of society, of family. They were foreign to my heart, yet I carried them like armor that protected me but also weighed me down and held me back. This was one of the most painful truths I had to accept—that many of the dreams I had chased weren’t born of my soul.

Being at peace

 Being at peace is about finding #innercalm and #contentment, even if external circumstances are not ideal. Here are a few ways to cultivate inner peace:

✓ Practice #mindfulness: Mindfulness is about being present in the moment and observing your thoughts and emotions without judgment. By focusing on the present moment, you can let go of worries about the past or future and find #peace in the here and now.

#Gratitude: Cultivating a sense of gratitude for the things you do have, rather than focusing on what you don't have, can bring a sense of contentment and peace. Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for, even if they are small.

✓ Connect with nature: Spending time in nature can be #calming and #grounding. Take a walk in a park, hike in the mountains, or simply sit outside and enjoy the #beauty of the natural world.

✓ Engage in hobbies or activities you enjoy: Doing things that bring you #pleasure or a sense of #accomplishment can boost your mood and help you feel more at peace.

✓ Practice #selfcare: Taking care of your physical and emotional needs is essential for inner peace. Make time for rest, exercise, healthy eating, and #relaxation activities, such as #meditation or #yoga.

Remember, being at peace doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time. It's about finding #acceptance and contentment in the present moment, even if things aren't perfect.
