3 Steps to Inner Peace
1. Meditate
Now before you run for the hills, let me tell you how meditation can be really easy and fun. First off, you don’t have to sit indian-style with your fingers clasped together, and with perfect posture.
You can meditate practically anywhere, and in any way that’s comfortable to you. Lay down for five minutes. Sit back in your char and close your eyes. Heck, you can meditate while you take a walk.
Also, there are two ways to make the most of your meditation. The first is to pick a theme. For example, you can meditate about everything you’re grateful for.
The second is to simply let your mind do what it wants. Don’t try to to force thoughts in or out. Just let your mind wander. If you’re antsy, let yourself be antsy. Don’t resist anything you’re thinking / feeling. just let it be.
2. Keep a gratitude journal.
It can be a slip of paper in your pocket. It can be a leather bound notebook. It can be a piece of scrap paper on your desk. Whatever eworks for you, a gratitude journal can really change your life.
All you do is write down things you’re grateful for throughout the day. Really enjoying that cup of coffee? Write that you’re thankful for that. Enjoying the view out the window? Write that down!
You don’t have to write down “huge” things you’re grateful for. It can be the small joys of life. But thinking about them throughout the day will make you notice them more. And as you notice more, your life is filled with even more joy.
3. Throw things away!
A lot of us keep things around the house that we really ought to throw away, or give away. Sometimes we think to ourselves, “But I paid good money for that!” Or, “I’m sure I’ll use it some day!”
In truth, these objects / clothes / etc. just sit around our house, taking up space, and adding clutter.
When you clear your home / office of these objects though, things just feel better. Your mind is at ease. Clutter doesn’t just clog your space, it clogs up your mind. It drains the psyche. So be bold and brave and throw things away!
