Finding Peace in Chaos

Chaos doesn’t knock politely—it barges in, drops its luggage, and sets up camp in your living room. A sick kid, a sudden bill, work deadlines stacking like Jenga blocks—it’s never “if” but “when.”

We’re taught to think peace is what comes after the storm. But the truth? Peace is built inside the storm. It isn’t about waiting for life to calm down—it’s about creating tiny anchors of calm when everything around you is spinning.

Peace might look like:

• Sitting in your car for 3 minutes before walking into the house.

• Shutting off notifications and letting the world wait.

• Choosing to breathe instead of scroll when your nervous system is screaming for escape.

The practice is learning to let the chaos exist without letting it own you. You don’t have to control everything to claim peace. You just have to decide—moment by moment—what gets your energy and what doesn’t.

So the next time life feels like a hurricane, ask yourself: where’s the smallest place I can create peace right now? Start there. You’ll find the storm shrinks a little when you stop giving it all the power.
