ZEN or how to find your inner peace

Recently I reached at the conclusion that doing simple things can disconnect you from the daily activities and routine, restoring the balance in your life in order to offer your best to family, profession and society.

My daughter likes to draw and paint a lot but with crayons I have a problem because she always makes a big mess when sharpening them all over the house. She has only 4 years and 3 months so I find this naturally at her age. One day in the evening after she felt asleep I decided to sharpen all of her crayons so she doesn't find it necessary to do this activity by herself. Been tired I didn't found this activity too comfortable at the beginning but the idea that will save me of other troubles boosted me to continue. Believe me that I didn't stop until the last crayon was sharpened and there were different sizes, using several sharpening tools. Doing this simple activity I was totally out of the daily routine and away from any other thoughts. I can say that this experience was for me one of the the ZEN moments and a way of reaching the inner peace.

Thanks to my daughter I can proudly present my work to you. :)

So what are your ZEN moments or the ways you reach your inner peace?
