Strategies for obtaining and maintaining your inner peace
In this blog post, I’ll share with you 5 ways to obtain and preserve peace of mind in your life.
So you’re working toward inner peace. Perhaps you’ve already settled into a harmonious routine, and you feel like you’ve already found the tranquility you’ve been seeking. Your journey doesn’t end there. Nope, it’s a lifelong endeavor to maintain your happiness and fulfillment. It’s not something to fret over, though. It’s an exciting journey, and it starts here:
- It is what it is
You’ve heard the saying, and you’ve probably said it yourself. But have you lived up to it? Every time you try to fight what life is handing you, you’re just creating a struggle for yourself. This is one of those practices that is ongoing. Practice accepts that it is what it is in each moment.
2. Confront your feelings
Stop with the “I’m fine” speech. If you’re feeling something (negative, positive, or anything in between), show yourself some respect and allow yourself to experience those feelings! Life is too meaningful not to acknowledge your feelings and let them be expressed appropriately.
3. Pay attention to every facet of your life
That twinge of guilt? An overdue bill? Dirty windows that need to be cleaned? Often times, we ignore things that seem like “little things,” but over time, these things add up and pile on top of each other. Pay attention to your life, especially when it pertains to your wellbeing.
4. Peace more than performance
Sure, we all love to perform well and aim for success. Sometimes it comes at a cost, though. If you notice yourself overpromising and working too hard, at the expense of your happiness, tone it down and take some time to find peace with yourself.
5. Minimize clutter
Take a look around your home. If it doesn’t bring you a sense of peace, it may be time to minimize the clutter. If you’re a disorganized person, start small. You may be inclined to live your life among the clutter, but this does not keep you stay on top of things. If you make it a regular habit to declutter, you’ll feel a tremendous sense of relief.
6. Do good, genuinely love others, and seek God’s righteousness
And last but not least (I believe this is actually the most important), do good and genuinely love others. Of course, you also have to love and take care of yourself. Seek the righteousness of the Almighty in heaven, and everything will be added to you. Remember, if the Creator is with you, who can be against you? These are the words for the ultimate peace of mind we all seek, right there!
Overall, these tips are among many of the tactics for obtaining and preserving peace of mind in your life. Welcome to the journey! It’s a long journey (lasts a lifetime, in fact), but it’s certainly worth it. You don’t have to embark on this alone. Peace is a universal feeling and an experience that we all deserve. Gather your friends and family to join you on this exciting endeavor!

True. Once I decluttered my office, I could work more efficiently.
Nice post! I am constantly working on minimizing clutter! “It is what it is” to me is a double edged sword. On one hand I feel it’s often used by people who easily give up without the slightest fight or without looking in the mirror and recognize their own role in a situation. On the other hand, it can also mean, know the difference between the things you can change and the things you can’t. Walk away and move on.
