How do you find peace and balance in your life?

Doug, 23 "I think peace is an interesting word and how you define it; I do what makes me happy. I play music, I enjoy hanging out with friends, I work (earn money) and that gives me a sense of peace in its own way, I think." |

Seth, 20 "Living in New York, it can be hard, but I have a lot of ways. I do yoga and I practice meditation and I also like spending time in the parks and outdoors, or the beach. I also like to read books; everyday is a little bit different." |

Edward, 25 "Well, right now, I just go home and lie in bed and watch T.V.-that's what I do, I do that a lot actually (laughs)." |

Lagosfulpe, 22 "In the USA, I find the peace, I was working in a camp, a peace camp, it was in a free nature and I loved it. After that, I came here to New York and I was like wow amazing! I've spent about six days here and then I'm going to Miami and I will find more peace." |

Nichole, 34 "By carving out time to do things that I really enjoy with people I really enjoy doing them with." |

Shauna, 28 "By spending time with people that I love, coming out and sitting on the streets of New York even though most people wouldn't understand that if they're not from here, and I'm a teacher, so working with kids helps center me and helps me stay young. I think staying young is a good way of finding peace in your life." |
