5 Unhealthy Habits I Let Go Of This Year To Regain Inner Peace

Letting go of unhealthy habits can be transformative in regaining inner peace. As I have begun my reflection practices on the year gone by, I made a note of all the unhealthy habits I let go of this year for my own inner peace.

You know that moment when you’re stuck in the supermarket line and the contents of your bag spill on the floor just as your phone starts ringing? Thats when I knew I needed to find inner peace within, right as I was suppressing the urge to unleash a stream of four-letter words(!)

And moments before that we were planning outfits for her week in college.
