I Choose Peace

I'm having a tough day in the midst of a tough couple of weeks.

It's taking all of my will and concentration to stay focused on the work before me. I'm being bombarded by interruptions from my client that don't just take away the time we talk, they keep changing the direction of my actions. Which causes me to replan. Which creates in me some resistance.

I want to scream out: Leave me alone so I can do this job for you!

Instead, I'm sure that I'm broadcasting a scattered energy message, jerky movement instead of flowing, and irritation instead of peace.

In this moment, I choose peace. I choose to relax into the knowing that I can find the peaceful center of this activity, and I can stay in that place no matter what happens around me, or what phone calls arrive at my desk.

Perhaps, by choosing peace and standing in peace, I will actually change the energy that comes rushing at me, since I'll be attracting a totally different energy towards me.

This should be an interesting experiment for the afternoon, to see who/what calls arrive next. I'm hoping for peaceful calls, and they can all be peaceful as long as I remain peaceful.
