Do You See Chaos Everywhere?
Does the world seem like a raging jungle to you, full of confusion… mystery… and evil?
Do you feel like you’re walking on quicksand, unsure of what will happen in the future, tomorrow, today, or even the next moment?
This is how things feel right now for many people.
You turn on the TV, and you’re bombarded with news of violence, killing, and destruction. The places that escaped wars were struck by earthquakes, fires, and floods.
You look at your phone screen, and all you see are economic collapses and societal disasters… call them what you will.
Crises… crises… crises everywhere.
How do you find balance amidst this chaos?The first step is to realize that chaos is a natural part of life. Instead of fighting it, try to accept it.
Perhaps chaos, as harsh as it may seem, is a form of divine cosmic order that restores balance. But because our knowledge and understanding are limited, we perceive it as chaos.1. Accept Chaos as Part of Life
Learn how to adapt to changing circumstances instead of trying to control everything.
2. Don’t Give In to Frustration
Don’t let negative news pull you into a spiral of fear and despair. It’s your right to stay strong.
Never lose faith that everything will pass, and you will not only get through these times but may even emerge stronger and wiser.
Staying calm amidst chaos isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Focus on what you can control.Strategies for Feeling Safe in a Turbulent World
✔ Create a daily routine that gives you a sense of stability and accomplishment.
- Make your bed every morning.
- Stick to the five daily prayers (for Muslims).
- Set aside time for reading.
- Regulate your sleep schedule and reduce screen time.
✔ Practice Mindfulness
Make meditation or conscious breathing part of your daily routine. You can set an alarm every few hours to remind yourself to pause, take a deep breath, and feel the movement of your chest with each inhale and exhale.
Take daily moments to connect with your senses:
👀 Look around clearly, notice colors and shapes.
👂 Listen to the sounds around you.
👅 Taste your food mindfully—don’t eat in a hurry.✔ Practice Gratitude
Every day, think about the things you’re grateful for, no matter how small:
- The ability to breathe.
- A cold glass of water.
- A moment of peace in a busy day.
You can even write these blessings down daily and read them aloud.✔ Spend Time in Nature
If possible, go outside. Walking among trees or even sitting on your balcony can help restore your inner balance.✔ Seek Support
Don’t hesitate to reach out to friends or family when you feel confused or anxious. Sharing your feelings can bring comfort and a fresh perspective.✔ Surround Yourself with Positive People
Don’t remain alone amidst the chaos; build a support network that gives you strength and stability.And finally… cultivate resilience.
We all have the ability to process events and deal with them flexibly. We cannot change the world, but we can accept it and live in it with honesty, generosity, and love
