In some way or another, we are all looking to find peace in our lives. Peace with those in our lives, peace in our surroundings, peace with ourselves. Finding that positive place is sometimes difficult to achieve but there are small yet important things that we can do each and everyday to take steps toward peace, serenity and deeper meaning. Try adding a few of these small things to your life today and you will see yourself moving in a positive direction.
- Be grateful: If you train your mind to be grateful of each and every one of the good things in your life (waking up each day, making it to work safely, having healthy friends, family, etc.), this feeling will begin to be a larger and larger part of everyday.
- Be kind: Practicing kindness positively impacts others and yourself. Being unkind and mean is toxic to those who you interact with, but also seeps inward and brings you down.
- Be purposeful: Follow your dreams, be healthy, get plenty of rest and take care of yourself and you will begin to feel better. Make small goals for yourself and be happy when you achieve them. Exercising, eating well and getting good sleep can make a huge difference in how peaceful and calm you feel every day.
- Accept what you cannot change: The only person you have control of is yourself. You cannot control how others behave. All you can do is control your response. You can decide to distance yourself from someone who is unkind. Spending energy worrying about things that you cannot change is wasted – use this energy toward positive thoughts and you will be one step closer to finding peace with the world.
- Remind yourself: Making these changes in your life takes some work. You may want a gentle reminder of the commitment to peace you have made in your life. Adding a simple symbol around your neck is one way to help keep yourself in a positive frame of mind. Simply touch the necklace during the day when you are being challenged and help yourself reset and remember your goals for positive, purposeful, peaceful life!
