“Self-acceptance brings a sense of inner peace and contentment. Individuals who accept themselves are less likely to be plagued by self-doubt and more likely to experience a sense of harmony and balance in their lives.” -Chat GPT
Peace is one of my favorite fruits of the spirit. I really appreciate peace and harmony. There was a time when I’d use anxiety to thrive. I’d get my stress levels up to get things done. Now that I see how much that takes a toll on my body, I do whatever I can to keep my stress levels down. At the same time, some situations require me to face stress in order to get to a peaceful place. Facing short-term stressors for long-term peace is always better. When I say short-term stressors, I mean things that may be uncomfortable, like setting boundaries or standing up for things you value in a room full of people who you think would never understand.
