Do you believe that this can be done?
Or, do you think that such a notion is horsecrap?

I do believe we can create our own serenity...

Personally I use meditations of gratitude, Biblical scriptures, lots of prayer and understanding that I am responsible for my own reactions to my world.

Now..... when in the midst of a severe BP episode, this may not work, because our brains are in a mode to undermine our rationality

if we are in remission/stable we can all create our own serenity by being in touch with the core of our own being and mindfulness which is to be treasured when attainable and hopefully remembered when this disease raises its ugly head.. hugs.
