I arrive at peace by a number of marvels. Some... Achieving a positive outcome with a project. Having a good time or great conversation with a friend. Being outdoors in the woods, by the river or a lake, with nothing to do but relax into the outdoors. Sitting in meditation until the point of inner merging & energization. Listening to music I like for a half hour, at least. Resolving some difficulty or misunderstanding with another person.
Open windows, scented candles and incense, my feet in a relaxing foot bath, glass of wine, and zoning out in front of Ken Burns-type documentary about the past.
Sitting on the back porch with coffee and a protein shake while watching the sunrise when it's at least 80 degrees outside.
I'm wayyy late to this, but honestly anything to do with water. Creeks, beaches, etc. Something very pleasant about it
