We get up in the morning too early, after going to bed the night before too late. We rush to get ready for work, and we don’t eat a healthy enough breakfast to prepare us for a day that will likely have its fair share of stress in store for us. On the way home from work, we get caught in rush-hour traffic, testing our patience and sometimes causing us to lose our temper. But even if we’re lucky enough to not lose our temper, it’s only a matter of time before we do something inadvertently to cause someone else to lose their temper. Life these days seems to conspire against our feeling at ease.
Most of us are luckier than we realize we are. We may, for instance, have great friendships that prop us up subtly. We may find solace in a faith tradition. We may do yoga or run or paint or build model trains. Lesser known among the things we do to make ourselves feel better is our reliance on the power of symbols. When stuck in traffic for what seems an eternity, for example, the traffic light’s change from red to green may feel like liberation from the tyranny of traffic. A child’s picture, drawn just for you, and sealed with a heart may cause the stress of your day to begin melting away. Most of us don’t think deliberately enough about such symbols, and who knows how much less stress we would feel if we did? But it is possible to make a more deliberate decision about the power of symbols by wearing one!
Symbols Are Powerful Reminders Of What Is Important
The PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant Necklace provides a powerful reminder of the fact that we are under no obligation to absorb all of the sources of stress around us. We can, in fact, be of greater service to the world around us by indulging in the reaffirming power of peace and life. And the PEACE AND LIFE® pendant, with its upward-reaching arms aiming for peace and its downward-facing arms pointing us toward the sanctity of life, provides a symbol that could open our eyes to the gift that a child may give us, the music we listen to on the way to work, and the value of the people in our lives, who themselves are capable of symbolizing peace and life.
Symbols impact our lives every day, whether we realize it or not. The PEACE AND LIFE® pendant allows us to remind ourselves of the power we have to choose positivity. Email [email protected] or go to www.peaceandlife.com to see the additional PEACE AND LIFE products for sale.
