Tips For Finding Peace Within Yourself

By Lisa Phillips


A combination of work, family, and all the random things life tends to throw at you, can leave you feeling exhausted. Sometimes, you do not even notice that you need a break, until your body starts to fail you. One way to prevent this from happening is by finding peace within yourself. This process can seem long and tedious, but the results are worth the effort. Everyone has their way of approaching this matter, but here are some things that will be common to most.

You will notice that a lot of your stress and anxiety is caused by worrying about things you did, and things you have not yet done. Living in the present does not mean being carefree, it simply means accepting that there are things you have no control over. Forgiving yourself and other people will help you let go of the past. As for the future, you simply need to take it as it comes.

Going through life at breakneck speed will tire you mentally, and even physically. So before you collapse at work from exhaustion, take a step back and look at your life. When you do this, you are able to see the important things like family, and your health. This does not mean quitting your job, but if you are tired every day, consider taking on fewer responsibilities.

Sometimes, you will find that your life resembles a cluttered closet. You end up holding on to pent up emotions, people you pretend to like, and hobbies you do not even understand. When you start to re-evaluate your life, start by getting rid of all the things and people you feel contribute to the negativity. Be very careful not to turn into an introvert, but having a smaller circle of friends might prove to be better for you.

Before you find peace in yourself, you need to accept the way you are. You can change some aspects of your appearance and personality, but this will need to be a personal choice. Every once in a while, schedule a day to spend alone, doing what you like. This is one of the most important steps of this journey, because it will also teach you how to appreciate other people.

Clearing your mind is how most people define meditating. This part will look easy until you actually try it, and find that you cannot go for two minutes without having a random thought, or falling asleep. As a beginner, you can start by focusing on one thing when clearing or working with an expert, who can guide you through the process.

Start appreciating the natural world around you. If you live near a park or a bike trail, you should make a point of going there every few days. Even simply getting an aquarium can be relaxing for some people. For most people, the way nature works tends to overshadow any problems you may have, leaving you calmer.

Once you start to possess inner peace, you will find that everything looks a lot easier to handle. You can focus better at work or school, and this will help you excel. You also significantly lower your chances of getting lifestyle diseases, which translates to a longer and fuller life.
