Your Walk for Peace: The 80/20 Rule That Changes EverythingI was inspired to speak about the Buddhist monks’ “Walking for Peace” movement with the 80/20 rule as a practical framework for creating personal peace. Because peace's an internal practice—not dependent on external circumstances—we can use everyday triggers like traffic, relationships, politics, and life stressors as “teachers” that reveal where peace is being lost. Let’s explore the 80/20 rule as prioritizing peace-building habits 80% of the time (self-care, boundaries, movement, nourishing food, time with meaningful people, and saying yes/no with discernment) Remember: Focusing on the physical body while neglecting the “internal body,” can/will lead to long-term consequences.I invite you to open the “gift” of the 80/20 rule, commit to peace regardless of the “weather,” and take advantage of your personal “invitation to peace” session to identify where you give yourself away losing your peace so you can shift your day-to-day life and experience true inner peace.
