Searching Peace

     Ever been in a situation where you just don't know what to do or how to react? Well, I have. Many times before and almost every day, usually after trying to be super nice with someone or by doing something I know i'll regret later.

     Now, I understand my situation might not be anything like yours but truth is, not knowing what to do or how to react happens to everyone at least a couple billion of times in there lives.
     Funny thing is, that when you find yourself in this situation you're not resolving anything and you will almost always end up destroying or breaking something or some type of relationship. However, don't feel upset.

      Here today, I come to give some of my own techniques to calming down and making the best of such a situation. Currently, I'm undergoing such an experience and even though I have yet to fully calm down I've settled down way more than I thought I could. How? Well, for beginners ignore the problem for a couple of hours. Doing such a thing will help you to relax and think things through thoroughly and clearly without any distractions. If after a few hours the problem still exists and is still affecting you talk it out with the person or people who are involved. I know talking might seem like it's  no help but truth is talking is the first thing to understanding a situation. Often times what we think or hear isn't always what's been said or meant. Talking will not only lay the cards flat on the table but also help put them in order from best to worse ( reality vs. fiction).

     In concentrating on the second step, one must be aware that by talking I mean having a reasonable conversation. Don't hurt feelings or accuse simply have a rational conversation that will help polish up the situation. After talking things through and truly understanding what's going on, console yourself into a type of hibernation mood. Plug in headphones or draw but stay away from any distraction, this includes technology and anything else that might require to much thinking. This consoling time is for you, ONLY you. You should be able to not only process things through and take note of what ever commentary or questions you may have but also help yourself get to know yourself better.

    By following these steps I hope you have been able to somewhat if not fully restore yourself into a peaceful mood. While I know these steps aren't all relevant and sturdy the truth is that even if they don't work to bring peace they will surely help you acknowledge all points of any situation and help you get to know yourself better.
