Day 83 & 84 of 90: Choosing Peace on Ordinary Days

Day 83 and 84 were simple days.

No big milestones. No dramatic realisations. Just regular life unfolding responsibilities, routines, small conversations, unfinished tasks.

And yet, something important stayed constant:

I kept choosing peace.

The Power of Regular Days

Most of life happens on ordinary days.

Not on breakthroughs.

Not on celebrations.

But in routines.

Waking up.

Managing home.

Thinking about goals.

Handling small emotions that come and go.

Earlier, I used to wait for special days to feel good.

Now I’m learning that regular days are where real growth lives.

Making Peace a Priority

There were moments that could have pulled me into stress.

Small irritations.

Mental noise.

The urge to rush.

But both days, I kept asking myself a simple question:

What protects my peace right now?

Sometimes the answer was silence.

Sometimes stepping away.

Sometimes letting things go faster than usual.

Sometimes not reacting at all.

Peace is not automatic.

It is chosen.

The Shift I Notice

I’m not trying to control everything anymore.

I’m not trying to win every situation.

I’m not trying to prove I’m right.

I’m learning something softer and stronger:

Not everything deserves my energy.

And that realisation feels freeing.

Peace Doesn’t Mean Doing Nothing

Choosing peace didn’t mean avoiding responsibilities.

I still did what needed to be done.

But the difference was internal.

Less tension.

Less mental argument.

Less emotional exhaustion.

More acceptance.

More presence.

More breathing space.

What Day 83 & 84 Taught Me

• Ordinary days shape our inner world

• Peace is a daily decision

• Letting go saves energy

• Not reacting is sometimes the strongest response

• Calm is something we practice, not something we wait for

Closing Reflection

Day 83 and 84 reminded me that life does not need to be extraordinary to feel meaningful.

Regular days can be peaceful.

Routine can be grounding.

Silence can be healing.

I am learning to live gently.

To move steadily.

To protect my peace – even on the most ordinary days.

And that is progress. 🤍✨

Hi, I'm Anu! Originally from the beautiful hills of Uttarakhand (India), I now call Australia home. Moving countries wasn’t an easy journey – it came with its own set of challenges, goodbyes, and growing pains. But it also opened doors to new opportunities, friendships, and personal transformation. This blog is my little space to reflect, express, and share stories from everyday life — whether it's about adjusting to a new culture, lessons from motherhood, reflections on family back home, or just navigating this ever-changing world as a migrant woman. I believe growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones. And even though I miss my roots deeply, I’ve found joy in creating a new version of "home" here in Australia. When I’m not writing, I love relaxing with a coffee, diving into a good book, or enjoying moments with family and friends. ! Thanks for stopping by – I hope you find something here that resonates with you. Feel free to say hello or share your own story — I'd love to connect! 💛
