Caring - Season for Nonviolence

As you may have read a few days ago I am taking part in the Association for Global New Thought's (AGNT) Season for Nonviolence - to promote peace now through April 4th.  Each day they will have a picture with a message to help promote peace, one of the guiding principals I love about Unity is that "world peace starts with you".  It's true, and simple and I couldn't help but let it change me.

Today's "message" is make a list of five ways I can take better care of myself, honor that list by practicing one today.  This one has been really hard for me...

  1. Take a multivitamin
  2. Yoga
  3. Practice more Meditation

This was seriously all I could think of, I mean I could do the eat better, drink more water, work out, all the usual but I think what I most need right now is more of the mental work.  Not a whole lot that show up on a list for that.


I welcome ideas for stress relief I could add to my list...  by the way took my vitamin three days in a row!  (I am horrible at taking pills!)

I guess I am more into the Old School thoughts which stand for peace without the collectivism connotations -- the idea that we're each created in the image of God with unalienable human rights. Either way it's something positive to pursue and like you say, it starts with each one of us. Thanks for posting this and have a peacefully inspired weekend!

Good luck....and you need to put plenty of rest on the list.

Yes however when stressed I have a very hard time sleeping... it's a catch 22.

The best stress reliever I have is working with my plants. The physical labor part is good, but the serenity of nature seeps through my emotions, too.

When things get to be too much for me, I take a break and read a young adult fantasy fiction. There's always a 'Happy Ever After' ending. It's both a mental break and entertaining.
