How To Find Your Inner Peace

Having a restless mind can be extremely exhausting. Jumping from one worry to another, being overwhelmed by fears and anxiety, your mind becomes a chaos that prevents you from finding your inner peace.

Many confuse it with having a restless mind and being a curious and productive person. Although this inner energy can often be reflected in the desire to learn new things, most of the time the anxiety experienced is just a mental noise that causes confusion, exhaustion and unhappiness.

But if you have a restless mind, you don’t have to blame yourself. The inability to find your inner peace can be a subtle combination of several factors.

In today’s article we invite you to discover five tips to calm your mind and discover your inner peace. The following tricks are simple and to implement them you only need one ingredient: willpower.

You need to calm the troubled waters of your mind to find your inner peace

One of the best books on the connection between mental noise and depression was written by Kay Jamison, a psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The book is called A troubled mind ( An Unquiet Mind ) , and within it Jamison recounts a personal experience.

If you find yourself in the paragraph related by Jamison above and want to find your inner peace, we advise you to consider the following five tips. We are sure you will find them very useful.

1. Get rid of unnecessary burdens

Definitely carry many burdens with you, even if you are not aware of it. In order to find your inner peace, you need to discover what these invisible difficulties are.

• You are surrounded by people who, instead of enriching your life, try to steal your positive energy.
• It is very likely that you will prioritize something that is not really important.
• Accept that moderation brings you more benefits than excess.

2. Pause for a minute and take a deep breath, stopping the mental noise

The past no longer exists, you can no longer change it, and the future does not yet exist. Focus on the present moment, on where you are now.

• Sit still and breathe. Take a deep breath and hold your breath for five seconds, then exhale vigorously.

• Although it may seem hard to believe, this simple exercise will relax your mind. Breathing exercises oxygenate the brain and help you be calmer.
• When your body feels good, it is easier for you to connect with yourself.
• Humbly ask yourself what you want from life, what you are looking for, what you do not want and what your destination is.

We recommend that you try this exercise when you wake up in the morning.

3. Build “protective walls”

An anxious mind is also very permeable. This allows outside worries and the interests of others to penetrate it. When this negative energy shakes your inner peace, it intertwines with your personal weaknesses, forming a harmful combination. Here’s how to build “protective walls” :

• Stay away from things that spoil your inner harmony. You don’t need selfish and interested people in your life.
• Build walls to protect yourself from those who bring storms after them, when you simply want your day to be calm.
• Protect yourself from those who do not respect you. You can forgive them if you want, but drive them out of your life.

4. Silence is healing

Dedicate at least an hour and a half or two to your day to surround yourself with silence.

• These moments of peace and inner peace will help you discover your true needs and calm your restless mind.
• People with restless minds, who are always overwhelmed by worries, forget to take care of themselves. They forget how important their own person is.
• Allow the silence to relax you and drive away the fears and worries that grind you. Let yourself be overwhelmed by feelings such as satisfaction, inner peace and the balance between soul and mind.

5. Cultivate gratitude

This last piece of advice for finding inner peace is probably the hardest to follow. Relax and focus on the following thoughts :

• If you are sad because some people do not love you, distance yourself from them. Although this solution is simple, it is not easy to implement.
• If you feel uneasy, try the following trick: choose not to feel that way anymore. Stop these feelings and don’t forget that you are valuable.
• Be grateful for the little joys you have and overlook.
• Be grateful that you are physically healthy and surround yourself with people you love and who love you.

• Learn to be grateful for each new day. Opportunities to achieve your goals are always in your way.

Be happy, calm and balanced and you will find your inner peace!
