The inner peace is the essence of life that enables you to cope with
periodic turbulent experiences. It is valuable
because it determines the quality of life and is dependent on your ongoing
learning on maintaining it throughout your various developmental stages.
You are the manager of your inner self and this is a subject that you
have to learn by trial and error until you master it. Peace is the product of the inner self and
its enemy is the mind through engaging in autopilot thinking. The mind thinks even when you are sleeping
and you will know the nature of your thoughts through your dreams. The question is; do you have control on
slowing down your thinking and directing your thoughts towards maintaining inner
peace? Consider the following:
1.
Monitor the quality of your environment.
The mind works on data provided by your senses. This means if you are in a pleasant
environment you will see pleasant things, hear beneficial information, talk
about helpful subjects and all these will make you feel good. On the other hand, if you love to hear the
latest world new every hour, you cannot have inner peace because you will be filled
with the global score of the negative things.
2.
Monitor the nature of your thoughts.
Your thoughts reflect what you have been
inputting in your mind. The principle is
this; the quality of your thoughts make or break your day! In other words, you have a responsibility of
making a decision to banish any thought that steals you peace. How does this
come about? If you allow yourself to dwell on how badly someone treated you,
you are literally poisoning yourself.
This means as soon as a negative thought emerges, you divert to a positive
one; this is a simple act of staying present.
Refuse to self-destruct.
3. Adjust your needs to match your
financial muscles.
You suffer stress because of unmet needs. Some people act on their lack to the extreme
and end up in prisons. How important is your inner peace? If you have made it central
to your life, you will trim your needs to match your current financial capability.
4. Allocate time to refresh the inner peace.
Consciously
lower your operating speed to find time to refresh your inner peace. What I
mean is that, find time in the evening to distress. Sometimes you cannot avoid stress and find
yourself tired and low on positive energy.
Switching off the television and your internet and talking to people is
what I call a healing time. You can
access peace within the inner quiet you, by purposefully emptying yourself of
all bad energy you came across during the day.
You may start with listening to inspirational tapes or guided meditations. End the session with complete silence which
will usher you into sleep.
Inner
peace does not mean cutting yourself from people; it denotes choosing who you
want to spend your time with: Consciously stay away from gossip or criticizing political
leaders, you will benefit nothing. Analyzing negative encounters of your day could
deplete your positive energy, so scan over them to see whether you contributed
to the situations. Maintaining your
inner peace means you take control of your life by weeding out bad habits that
do not support your goals. It is about
learning to put yourself first when it comes to sustaining your inner peace!
