“a state of peace and quiet”
Here in America, today is Super Bowl Sunday…hardly a tranquil event. All the hype, from every angle is over-stimulating: the teams, the romance, the ads, the pre-game shows, the upcoming half-time show, the food—nothing about any of it epitomizes “peace and quiet”.
With the random selection of today’s core value word, I think my ToGaAs* are just trying to show off their sense of humor.
Usually when I think of tranquility I think of a place, a space, something in my environment—outside of myself. Today’s MotD, as I understand it, encourages us to go within for this one…that regardless of what’s going on inside or out, the “peace and quiet” can _only_ be found within.
This is a tough one for me. My hyper-vigilant anxiety, makes it challenging for me to experience tranquility without some outside assistance: soft gentle music, a walk in nature, watching a sunset on the beach, a guided meditation, and so on.
As I write this post, I’m realizing and understanding the need for me to seek inner tranquility because my anxiety is starting to affect my physical health.
While I appreciate all of the MotDs so far this year, I especially adore this one, it soothes me.
How about you? Is tranquility a core value for you?

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day
Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.
