We all have different ways of finding peace within ourselves. For some it might be meditation, exercise, going to church, praying, doing yard work, gardening, etc.
For me however, when I need to calm myself and let my mind unwind, I pick up a book. I absolutely love to read, and I find for me reading can empty my mind of all the negativity that might be whirling around in my head. It seems to bring a calm over me, and I can simply get lost in the book.
How do you find peace within yourself?

That is excellent. I think whatever works for a person, is all that matters. Not the same thing will work for everyone.

Doing what I enjoy doing is where I find peace.

That sounds reasonable enough. We all have our way of finding it.

@sofssu It must really work for you, cause you the calmest person I know. I used to love to paint, and would love to get back into it. It's just so expensive.

@TexanTornado I usually meditate and pray, sometimes I do both while taking a walk. I paint at times to take my mind off the stress.

Yes, I have heard that eating for a lot of people helps relieve stress. I have never been that way when I am stressed, the last thing on my mind is food.

@phoonk Oh no, you are fine. That was so very many years ago. I am now 45, and have only certain moments where it bothers me. I think it's great in which you can find your peace.
