Finding Your Inner Peace

Inner Peace is letting go and truly surrendering. The first step in finding inner peace is to think carefully about your goals. What are you trying to achieve, and what are you doing that will take you there? Can you realistically reach your goals, or are you setting goals that are far beyond your reach? Do you have any goals? 

By putting your priorities in order, you will be on the path to peace because only chaos can result from clutter and disorganization of the mind. You can start by setting small goals that can be easily achieved. Then, instead of focusing on failure, you can see the good job you’ve done in reaching your goal. If you fail to reach a goal, use this situation to learn how to do better next time. Don’t wallow in your failure.

When you feel good about yourself, you will have an easier time finding peace of mind. Peace is essential for happiness. If you constantly feel sad, you are living under a great weight that brings you down to a point where you could sink into a permanent state of self-pity. Self-pity only encourages negative thinking. Remember, you are not the only person facing rejection or hurt in life. There are other people much worse off than you are. People with negative thinking miss out on inner peace because they let every little setback throw them off track. They criticize themselves for no real reason and go down a road that only leads to misery.

Life is full of rejection. One thing to remember is we only have one life to live.  Turn your rejections into positive actions and take charge of YOU.  Positive attitudes results in a peaceful states of mind. If you are feeling bad about yourself all the time, you need to break the cycle and get out of the habit of doing so.  It will take work and effort, but it will lead you to inner peace, and this will be so worthwhile.

Here are 8 ways to help you find inner peace: 

1. Stop expecting that life and people should be different

2. Release grudges and resentments

3. Sit with your emotions (and embrace them)

4. Don’t get lost in the past or future

5. Let go of playing the victim

6. Forgive yourself (and therefore others)

7. You don’t need to be “perfect”

8. Release the need to be right

Cheers!
