All good things, except I'm not much of a gardener. I appreciate a good garden when I see one though.

Sometimes if I become unnerved by something...or someone....I have learned to just stop. I stop and turn on the music. And I let the music be my blanket. I allow myself to become immersed in it and centered by it. Music is my greatest Peace Resource.....always has been.

Cooking brings me peace. It is an old standard for me. I also meditate and practice yoga. Fixing things brings me peace. I had to take apart my a/c compressor today and once I was done I felt refreshed.

Seeing the sun rise
Listening to jazz
My living space
Grass
Reading, watching, or listening to James Baldwin
Brushing and petting dogs or horses
Being near an ocean, river, or lake
A good game of chess
Erotica
Making soap
A full tank of gas
Children’s laughter
Creating a visioning board
Growing older
Accepting my imperfections

Chad · 08-15-2015, 08:36 AM

I find peace at my little ranch with my lady, the wildlife, and my cats.

~SweetCheeks~ · 08-15-2015, 10:30 AM

Listening to music in the morning when I wake up.
Looking around at all my blessings
Waking up before the house and just taking some time to enjoy the peace for just a moment.
Being by the water, a lake, ocean, stream
Going exploring in nature
Knowing that God's Got this!

so curious, do you mean literally a little white pill or something else?

Gemme · 12-02-2009, 09:00 PM

I admit it; I eat my emotions. So, on the days when I realllllly need some peace, I will get it from food. That first couple of bites is HEAVEN.

On a side note, did anyone know that after the first couple of bites of a new food, your taste buds begin to fade and lose some of the flavor of the food?

Mitmo01 · 12-12-2009, 07:16 PM

A warm bath always does it for me...some candles and myself floating in the hottest possible water my skin can take...it always relaxes me beyond belief

sometimes its a drink as well or even weed but when i want real relief its always in the form of some water

Andrew, Jr. · 12-12-2009, 08:16 PM

I am a very emotional guy. When I was younger, I was forced to be un-emotional. It is like being stompped on by a full grown elephant.

I have learned to step back, and refocus my energy on something other than who or what is bothering me.

This is what I do:

*Garden
*Mow the lawn
*Smoke a cigar or two or three if need be

*Pray
*Mediatate
*Listen to music

*Chant
*Sing

*Walk with Dino

*Do a Word Search
*Watch ESPN

*Talk to my friends
*Play Golf

*Go Fishing

A stiff drink, and an old movie

Lynn · 12-12-2009, 08:57 PM

When I'm stressed, it's often in relation to some kind of argument or misunderstanding. So, good, productive communication brings me peace.

Also...

Knowing that my kids are OK.
The scents and sounds of nature, especially the woods or the ocean.
Paying my bills.
Reading a good book.
A day trip.

Seroquel?

Andrew, Jr. · 03-09-2010, 12:41 PM

Meditating
Praying
Sticking to my routines

AtLast · 03-09-2010, 01:57 PM

Taking time to nourish my spiritual life... which for me, does include smatters of childhood religious rituals sometimes. Mainly, I find peace through chanting/prayer/meditative states and being silent for a few days in various spiritual locations. I am someone that has to slow myself down in order to keep my balance.
