How to Be at Peace

2024-12-11

Is feeling truly peaceful a pipe dream? Nope! With a little work, you can feel calm, cool, and collected (just like you

deserve to). Happiness is on the horizon, and we're here to show you what to do. From letting go of negativity, to relaxing through expert-proven techniques, read on to learn how you can find inner peace.



Releasing Negative Feelings


This is the most important part of feeling at peace and the first place you should always start. 90% of the time, when we're worried about something or stressed out, the source of our angst is really something that we have no control over. All you can do in life is to try your best and then let

fate take its course. If you can't affect the outcome then there is no point in worrying about something.

  • This is tough to do, of course, and will take some practice.

    Mostly you just need to remind yourself to let go, but you can also do exercises by distracting yourself with other tasks while you wait out the thing that's making you upset.

  • Remember that the behavior of other people is one of the biggest things that is outside of our control.



When other people make us angry, it is usually because we cannot understand why they're doing something that's making us angry. Instead of blowing up at someone or stressing

yourself out, try to see things from their side of the table. Think about why they did what they did...and remember

that we're all people with our own problems and our own dreams.[3]

  • For example, your husband may drive you crazy when he forgets to do the dishes. However, he doesn't

    forget them to be mean to you....forgetfulness is probably just a part of who he is, just like how you snore.


A huge source of worry in our lives comes from when we beat ourselves up.We

really can be our own worst bully. Maybe you feel bad about forgetting to write a paper or maybe

you're worried you said the wrong thing to your friend. No matter what you did, it's important to remember

that you can't go back in time. Beating yourself up over something you can't change won't make things any better. All you can do is work to make the future better and improve yourself with time...which is something

that everyone has to do.

  • Remember, to err is human!



Just like you have to forgive yourself, you have to

forgive other people too. For most of the same reasons even! Remember: this means truly

forgiving them.Don't be passive aggressive or find ways to punish them later. Just let it go and

find ways to work better together in the future!



Everything is temporary in life. The only things that are

eternal are the rising and setting of the sun. You have to remember this in all things that you do. Embrace the things you love and enjoy them while you can. Wait for the passing of difficult times. When we die, we don't take any of these trappings of life with us, so make sure that it's your soul

that's fulfilled and let the rest of it just go however fate feels like going.


Building Positive Feelings


When we try to be someone that we're not, it adds tons of stress, guilt, and unhappiness to our lives. We can hope all we want to be a different person than we are, but that's not really how people work! You just have to be yourself and embrace the person that you are.
  • Don't worry about what other people say or what they want you to be. It's not their life: it's yours.

  • Focus on doing the things that are true for you! Make sure to only say "yes" and "no" when you truly mean these things.

  • We're always growing and we're always evolving as humans. What resonates with you today might not resonate tomorrow, and making choices that are in alignment with who you are today is

  • extremely important to be at peace with yourself.
