Many people are living in fear right now about the direction of the economy. Unchecked, this fear can create stress and carry over into all areas of life including relationships, jobs and our physical well-being.

Wendy Schulstad, the founder of Rustic Sage Healing Haven, has outlined some of the tools she finds most helpful in dealing with challenging times and finding peace regardless of our outer circumstances.

Tools for Finding Peace in Difficult Times:

Feel Your Fears - How?
  • Fears are a gift. They provide us with great insight about our life and our desires. However, they often paralyze us because we avoid feeling them.
  • Imagine your worst fear and take time to actually feel it.
  • Once you live through it in your mind, it will begin to take the power away from the fear because you will know that even if it came true, you would survive.
  • Then when ready, set the fear on a shelf. Fears will never go away. You can always take them off the shelf and look at them again, but now you can choose how and when you want to bring it back in.

Reframe Your Life - Explain how to "reframe"
  • Life is how we see it
  • When we are unhappy, it is usually because we believe that something or someone in our life should be different.
  • Reframing is the process of choosing to look at life from a different angle.
  • What if we trusted that everything in our life was exactly as it was supposed to be?
  • What if we believed that every experience, every person, everything that has ever crossed our path was perfect for our life? If we didn't think life was supposed to be different, then there would be no resistance and much less suffering. It doesn't mean we would like it but we would feel a greater sense of peace and calm ... no matter what shows up in our life.

Give the Gift of Self Love - What is self-love & why important?

  • Many of us try to give to others when we are not giving to ourselves and we end up feeling resentful and exhausted at the end of the day.
  • Before we can give to others, we must first make our well-being our number one priority.
  • Self-love is being gentle and giving ourselves a break, knowing we are always doing our best, even when it does not look like it.
