The Ultimate Way to Peace
(Spoiler: There Isn’t One)
Let’s start here—there’s no ultimate way to peace. No perfect map, no five-step formula. I don’t have your answers. What I do know? Peace isn’t something you find outside of yourself. It’s something you embody when you trust you and follow the energy to discover what peace looks and feels like for you.
Because peace isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of thing.
For some, peace is found in deep silence—the kind of stillness that wraps around you when you finally surrender everything and drop into communion with all that is. For others, peace looks like money in the bank and knowing you’ll be okay no matter what comes your way.
Peace doesn’t mean you’re free from challenges. It means you stop fighting with what is. You stop resisting, judging, and trying to push it all away. Peace is being in the middle of the storm and realizing you’re not the storm—you’re the still center.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how lucky we are to even be here. In bodies. On this planet. Having this human experience. Yes, it comes with heartache, loss, uncertainty—but also beauty, breakthroughs, and deep knowing. And even in the hardest moments, we’re not alone. We have tools. We have awareness. We have choice.
Recently, I had one of those back-to-back seasons—the kind where each challenge hits before you’ve caught your breath from the last. I hit a point where I couldn’t fix it, couldn’t force it, couldn’t “figure it out.” So I let go. Fully. No backup plan.
And something shifted.
A wave of peace swept in—not because everything magically got better, but because I stopped trying to control it all. I stopped needing it to look a certain way. There was nothing left to do but be. And from that space, peace arrived.
If you’re craving more of that in your life, here are three tools that might open the door:
1. Keep going.
Yeah, I know it sounds cliché—but it’s true. Keep showing up. One foot in front of the other, even if it’s slow. Especially when it’s slow. Don’t rush to fix. Just keep moving. You’ll look up one day and realize you’ve made it through what you thought might break you.
2. Stop resisting.
Peace begins where resistance ends. Life is always going to throw things your way. But when you stop reacting, stop fighting with what’s happening, new possibilities start to show up. Space opens. You see possibilities you couldn’t see when you were stuck in the spiral.
3. Be in joy.
Joy shifts energy—your own and the energy around you. Want a quick way to invite more joy? Stop judging yourself. Seriously. Let that go, and watch what changes.
Joy is a frequency. When you choose things that lift your spirit—even the tiniest things—you’re tuning into that energy. Whether it’s grounding your feet in the grass or smiling at yourself in the mirror, each choice invites more light, more ease, more joy, more of you.
And if you take nothing else from this, remember this:
Peace isn’t a destination—it’s a way of being. It’s available even in the mess. Especially in the mess. You don’t have to force it, or chase it. Just be with what’s here, and know that something beautiful is already unfolding beneath the surface.
