How do I nurture peacefulness in my heart?

What do I do to prevent disagreements from escalating into strife?

She shared that she has been thinking about peace lately.

"For much of my adult life, I have taken guidance from Matthew Arnold’s words: Calm soul of all things, make it mine to feel, amid the city’s jar, that there abides a peace of thine I did not make and cannot mar."
