Serenity

”the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled”

I could probably count on one hand how many times I’ve felt serene in my life. I live in a constant state of hyper-vigilance. The fact that I figured out that I live in that state made it easier to understand why I’m always anxious. Now my challenge becomes learning how to be calm, peaceful, and untroubled.

Part of that challenge is realizing that because I’ve been in this state for so long (decades) it’s become my normal way of being. So trying to change that pushes me out of my comfort zone. Who would I be if I wasn’t always hyper-vigilant? Who would I be if I was calm, peaceful, and untroubled.

As part of my year-long “Journey Into Joy”, I intend to re-wire myself so that serenity is my new normal.

How about you? Is serenity a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with:

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.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
