The Steps I use to achieve Peace of Mind

We are so imbued today with what happens abroad, we are so affected by the news, what we see every day, that we always go through life in altered states, without realizing that in any situation we can take control of our mind, and quiet it. We can manage not to get mad at our boss because he gave us more to do or complained about something, not be upset if our son spills all the breakfast in the morning on the newly put on clothes, or because the one in front of us at the traffic light is with his telephone and does not advance …. and so. Everyday life is full of situations like that.

If we are not pay attention, we let negative emotions invade us and drag us in their whirlwind of bad vibes until we become little Grumpy Smurfs. And everything happened from 9 in the morning.

There is a way to stop this, not to let life pass you by; and I‘m going to teach you the infallible steps that are needed to achieve the Peace of Mind that you need on a daily basis.

It’s easy, it’s simple, and you get incredible results. And hey, it really doesn’t cost you anything to try. If it is not the whole steps, start little by little with one or two for several days, and you will see that you start to see things with a different screen.

Everything is within us; it is how we decide to take what happens to us what affects us in life.

I invite you to read this book from start to finish, but after you go through and experience each step as much as possible, and you will see that your life and the way you see it, will begin to change. And you will have a Peace of Mind that everyone will envy!

The comments that tell me the most are: “You’re always so calm”, “you never get nervous”, “you transmit such a peace “, even in difficult situations. I am not saying that there are not times when it is necessary to discuss, raise your own ideas and defend them if necessary. But there are times when you have to stop your head and realize that you have to know how to choose. Which are the necessary battles to be fought and which are better to let go.

Anger, deception, resentment are very strong emotions that make our whole body take note of what is happening to us, and then take its toll. It never happened to you that you had a great displeasure and the next day that your stomach hurt a lot? It has happened to me for several years, until I detected that it was the emotions I had felt that had caused so much real physical discomfort. As everyone owns their body and mind (and no one else) I decided to take charge of my mind so that my physical body did not have such a bad time either.

Meditation

Yes, hackneyed concept, known, heard everywhere. Why do you think it is? Because it doesn’t work? On the contrary, it is globally recognized and accepted by the great gurus, the Hollywood stars, the planet’s millionaires for one reason only: it works.

Don´t take things so seriously

I know this may sound very difficult. Many of you will tell me, “But, how can I not worry if I don’t make to the end of the month, if such an illness, if my girlfriend doesn’t love me … etc.”

Not taking things seriously has to do with realizing that everything is temporary, that we are in this world for a short period of time, and that we must make the most of it.

Separate from conflict

See things from a distance. To separate yourself from the conflict, you must first realize that you are about to enter a whirlwind of emotions from which it will be very difficult to get out once you enter. So, see it from the outside, imagine that you are seeing the situation as someone else, who was just passing by and observing what is happening. In this way, you will see the conflict, but you will also see yourself and the way you are reacting. And maybe you take another way to continue or end the discussion/conflict.

Make contact with nature

Yes, green is our great ally in the search for inner peace. Even if you live in a big city, surrounded by cement, cars, horns and smog; you can take some time a day to enjoy nature. The ideal would be a walk in the woods or on the beach. If it is not possible where you live, go to the first place you have at hand, and enjoy the outdoors, the birds singing and the contact with the grass. I love walking barefoot on the grass feeling part of this Earth.

Do physical exercise

We get to the part where we have to put more of each one. Yes, breathing, meditating, being in nature is not that difficult. Exercising daily it is. For some of us at least. There is so much talk about the benefits of staying on the move that it already seems silly to say it again, but again, it’s because it WORKS.

Put yourself in each other’s shoes

“Things are like this, and it’s over.” How many times have we heard this spiel, from someone who is convinced of their way of acting or thinking, and does not let anyone think or say anything about it?

It is already known, relationships are a two way, there must be recognition, understanding and attention from both sides. Perhaps many times we find that we are outraged by the attitude of such a person, or what he said about such a subject. Not realizing that surely that person is going through a difficult, complicated moment. Yes, maybe his whole life is complicated; but then there is no reason to get mad about it.

Listen to your inner child

Many times we forget ourselves, we don’t remember what it was like to be a child, what it felt like to play, to have hope and expectations, to be innocent. But the fears and insecurities that we had during our childhood too. Each one had a different upbringing and each of us was left with something that inhibited us, scared us or intimidated us at the time, and perhaps today we no longer remember.

To thank

And we come to the last step, and the most important of all. Gratitude is closely linked to valuing what we have, to be thankful to be alive on this planet, to realize that we are immensely abundant and fortunate. We have a beating heart, lungs that cleanse those we breathe, free air to do it, two legs that take us wherever we want, hands that can do wonders, eyes to see those beauties … We are so rich that we don’t realize it.

Thank for waking up every morning, thank the bed that gave you shelter, and kept you at rest and warm all night. To the water that comes out of the tap for allowing you to clean yourself. And if it comes out lukewarm, even more! We don’t realize how many comforts we have in an average Western home. And yes, I also took this from Louise Hay because it seems extremely wise and does very well.
