3 Practices For Daily Peace for Busy Midlife Women
Midlife for women can be noisy, busy, and exhausting. Yet, when we make ourselves available to life, we allow space for peace to unfold in our daily lives.
Adapted from an article published in Mindful Magazine.
The common lament, “If only I had more time, I’d have more peace,” resonates deeply with many women, particularly those in midlife.
When life is so busy, we may overlook opportunities to experience peaceful moments that are already present in our lives. In other words, peace may be more accessible than we think: in simple moments of being, between actions, conversations, judgments, and comparisons.
Peace, often experienced as a sense of calm, clarity, and stability, is woven into the fabric of existence, waiting to be noticed. When we make ourselves available to life, peace unfolds—an experience more frequent than we might realize.
Three Practices for Daily Peace
1. Stillness: Stillness is a key ingredient in a peaceful life. Stepping away from the frenetic pace of life allows for deeper breathing and a sense of calm. It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
2. Silence: Modern life is often very noisy, and finding moments of silence becomes essential. Taking just five minutes to sit in silence can elicit a profound sense of peace.
3. Rhythm: Gentle, deliberate rhythms open pathways to peace. Moving in sync with natural rhythms, whether walking, dancing, chopping veggies, or simply tuning in to the sounds of nature, cultivates calm and stability.
