Peace of Mind During Turbulent Times
The Archangels Tell Us How to Find It and Keep It
These are stressful times for all of us. I’ve long known that politics are a trigger for me that I struggle to manage, so my peace of mind isn’t sacrificed. This is sometimes a challenge for a couple of reasons. First, I have to balance staying up to date on the latest information and stressing out about it. I peruse the news app, mostly just reading the titles of articles, rather than the whole thing, and if I know something is just going to aggravate me, I try to avoid it entirely.

It’s right up there with blaming a rape victim for how she dressed or thinking women shouldn’t have choices regarding their own bodies. Oh yeah, Roe was overturned not too long ago, wasn’t it?! Do you see the connection?
In any case, after getting many requests and concerns from my readers, I asked the Archangels for some advice on how to maintain our peace of mind during the chaos that seems to control our country right now, and their response follows.
Question: I’d like to write about how it takes work and practice to have and maintain peace of mind these days. Please help.
Answer:
