Peace of Mind

I was listening to Mary J. Blige- “No more drama” the other day. Towards the end of the song, I heard her say “I need a peace of mind”. That statement caught my attention and got me thinking. I came to the conclusion instead of needing, I will take it a step further and figure out what I can do, to bring about this peace for myself. First I came up with going on a vacation. However, I am balling on a budget so I thought even deeper. Then I realized the sound of rain, calms me. The noise is so beautiful; it could put me to sleep. Time stops whenever I pray and I am happy and stress free. Listening to music helps me to keep moving and it relaxes me. Lastly when I play the piano, it brings about my focus. The only thing I’m concerned about is hitting the right keys. All these little things, give me serenity. What do you do to clear your mind? The stress of today and the worries of tomorrow are overwhelming. Since our mind is where everything starts, we have to make sure it’s clutter free. It’ll make everything in life so much better. Therefore the Queen’s advice is: turn off the cell phones and other distractions, lie down, and/or sit down & seriously think of only you. I know this must sound absurd right?! For just fifteen minutes, figure out what makes you happy. If you aren’t sure what makes you calm, think about what you do that makes you feel invincible... What makes you have a peace of mind? Then like Nike, just do it!! Have a happy Tuesday! & Leave comments/tips on what you did or will do, to escape ☺ By: Queen S. Ofori
