Through hard times, we tend to get out of normal to find peace of mind. Most of the time, our ultimate goal is to become relaxed and less worried. The desperate desire to be happy again after a long period of struggling becomes the driving force of consistency until we find peace of mind again.
Peace of mind differs from one person to another, but generally, it’s defined as, “A mental state of calmness or tranquility, freedom from worry and anxiety.” Every day, the moment we find serenity among the surrounding chaos becomes so priceless that it makes us forget a thousand moments of pain and tiredness.
“You deserve to be happy. You deserve to live a life that lights you up. Don’t ever forget that.” – Coco Calla We deserve happiness, and as long as we believe enough, we will become stronger and more peaceful in pursuing this happiness.
“Nothing can disturb your peace of mind unless you allow it to.”, said Roy T. Bennett. Therefore, to find peace of mind, we should remind ourselves that every trouble carries within it something to learn that helps us grow, this makes accepting what’s going on easier.
To help you find peace of mind through hard times and painful life, here are 24 effective ways.
How To Find Peace Of Mind
1. Practice deep breathing
Once you take a deep breath, you allow fresh air to flow through your lungs, which helps relieve stress and calm the body. Try it now, take a deep breath and release it slowly, now remember you’re alive and breathing, and everything will be much better.
2. Find peace of mind by letting things go
find peace of mind
Don’t get stuck in a past moment or a situation, let go. You are not living there anymore, stop allowing things to take more energy and time than they deserve. It may not be easy, but in order to find peace of mind, release what doesn’t help your future.
“Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!” – Steve Maraboli
3. Focus on NOW
Now is the most important time in your life, don’t waste it, hold onto it, and make sure you’re living it fully. It’s your treasure and your asset. Be mindful, let go of yesterday, worry less about tomorrow, and be more faithful to NOW. Focus on what makes you feel less guilty and more peaceful.
“Don’t dwell in the past. NOW is the most precious thing. Be in this moment and stay in the present.”
4. Connect with people you love
Life is a journey that can’t be traveled alone no matter how independent a person is. We need love and support from each other to carry on with heavy life responsibilities.
Connect with your beloved ones, friends, parents, and neighbors. Connections make you feel valued and loved, and bring peace of mind and a beautiful sense of security.
5. Be active
One of the best weapons against negative emotions is action. Do something to make your body feel better. Develop a habit of doing a workout for twenty minutes a day, it helps you relax your mind.
You can jog, run, ride a bicycle, or sign up for an exercise class. Engage with nature or play with kids, or make anything that brings you happiness. When you stick to physically active habits, your body and mind find adaption to stress much easier.
6. Practice self-care
Self-care is one of the most precious gifts you can offer to yourself. It improves mental and emotional wellness. Taking care of yourself makes you feel better about life, boosts your self-confidence, and helps you cope with current problems and demanding situations.
When you look gorgeous in your heart and mind, it fills your soul with love and patience.
7. Stop worrying about what others think of you
find peace of mind
Don’t worry about other people’s perspectives of you. Allow yourself to believe in your judgments more than their opinions. We all want to be loved and approved by people we love, but let’s trust ourselves more than worry about their approval.
“Don’t worry about what others think; care about what you think of yourself.”
8. Don’t Compare Yourself to Others
Your life is beautiful because it’s yours. Choices, and decisions whether they’re positive or negative are shaping your uniqueness. There’s no need to compare your life or progress with anybody else. Each life has its timing, so find peace of mind at your own pace.
“Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle, or your middle to someone else’s end. Don’t compare the start of your second quarter of life to someone else’s third quarter.” -Tim Hiller
9. Keep a journal
Write daily. Write bout everything; emotions, tasks, something that is bothering you, or someone you miss. Vent your anger and negative emotions somewhere, and heavy burdens of unsaid words you need to get rid of.
10. Have Goals
Having goals make life organized and less stressful. Make long-term and short-term goals, and don’t worry about achieving all of them. What’s important is trying your best, and doing what’s possible, one thing at a time.
“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.” – Andrew Carnegie
11. Daily Affirmations
Tell yourself positive affirmations daily. Affirm what your soul needs to hear from you. You believe all things you tell yourself silently. Make a habit of being a positive self-talker.
“I’m grateful, successful, powerful, strong, unstoppable, and I love myself.” Practice and affirm.
12. Make Peace With Your Past
find peace of mind
What’s gone is already in the past, with no rewinds. So, let go and live in the moment. Find serenity in believing in the present moment. You can create a better future when you stop looking back with sadness and regret.
13. Help Someone
Do one random act of kindness daily. Help someone who can or can’t help you back. Just help and wait for nothing, then your heart will be filled with peaceful contentment and joy.
“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
14. Practice gratitude
A thankful heart sees miracles because everything that happens becomes a blessing. Be grateful for all that you have, and be thankful for all that you don’t have.
“Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.” – Amy Collette
