Welcome to Let it be easy with Susie Moore.

Protecting your peace is being responsible.

Think about that for a second.

It seems, hmm, kind of conflicting, right?

We think, oh, you know, protecting our peace seems like this really boundary thing that makes us the person who cares only about our feelings and maybe we should be responsible by putting other people first and being more selfless or being more, you know, empathetic.

My friends, I'm here to tell you protecting your peace is being responsible.

Let me give you an example.

Maybe when you visit your family, there is a person you are testy around.

Maybe it's their political points of view, maybe it's their judgments about your life, maybe it's the way that they just communicate,

which just rubs on you like sandpaper, right? I think some of us, or many of us can relate to this in some degree.

Maybe it's a coworker, maybe it's someone you follow on social media, whoever it may be. In fact, we're doing a call in self-coaching society on protecting

your peace, throwing up all the things that get us out of that place, get us out of a peaceful state.

In the example of hanging out with a family member, maybe it's your mother, maybe it's your dad, maybe it's even your teenager.

You have to do whatever you need to do in order to remain peaceful and calm around them.

When this happens to me, I don't see my family that much because I'm in the US. I'm the only one here,

same with my husband, his family's in Australia largely, my families in Europe. I think I have to spend every single second

just you know glued to them because we don't see each other all the time and I

want to make the most of it. But sometimes you have to

protect your peace. It doesn't mean you do anything dramatic or even say you're protecting your peace.

This is something that is quiet. It is something that is calm.

Here are a couple of things that I do to protect my peace, I would joke sanity,

when I am almost being tested emotionally,
