a lot of the time we become so upset, sad, or disappointed in a person or situation that we don’t realize that we’re making it worse, for ourselves at least, by reacting in anger or gloom or resentment. these days, i often tend to ask myself if something is worth stressing over and then take it from there. if it is, i can evaluate my feelings accordingly and if its not, i can then focus on myself and direct my energy towards something that makes me feel good. that’s how i interpret “protect your peace”
