This last section war more about how we can bring our hearts back to peace rather than leaving them at war. I learned that there are steps in finding inner peace and getting out of the boxes that keep our hearts at war. The first step is to look for signs of yourself being in the box. If you know you are in a box and are not in denial, then it is easier for you to help yourself out. Sign of being in the box are blame justification, and horriblization. I found that I often see these signs in myself. Now I have completed step one in my life and can move on to step 2.
Step 2 is to find an out-of-box place such as an activity, relationship, or memory that brings joy into your life. Now whenever i find myself in a box, I have tried to go to my room and listen to music or play a sport. I try to do an activity that will calm me down and let me think about whether my heart is at peace or war.
Step 3 is to think about a new situation in your out-of-the-box perspective. You have to think about how being in a box that kept your heart at peace has affected others and how you can help them. This past week I have done a lot of reflecting and following these steps. I have found that my heart has been at peace more and I try to remain out of my box as much as possible. I have tried to make peace with others as well as myself and so far it is working out very well.
