Finding Inner Peace

 

 Finding Inner Peace


Frequently, some people in society feel as though they have to belong to a certain group or club in order for them to have what is considered a successful life. Sometimes they identify with a group based on something they feel they lack, and other times it is simply because of the social pressure that society places on them. Whatever the reasons are behind it, most people feel as though the more groups or clubs that they join, the more successful their life will be. However, this is not true at all and if you want to live an inner-peaceful life there are many things you can do which help reduce your perception of how much your community matters.
I would like to start by asking you a few questions. I would also like to explain why they are important to consider.
I hope that you will consider these questions carefully and respond honestly in the areas where you feel your answer is most accurate. I feel this way because I have often seen that those who do not take time out of their busy schedules to consider things they could change, or things they wish they had done differently, are often left with regrets at the end of their lives.
Let me begin my analysis by asking you how well-rested you feel on a regular basis? I would like to ask you this because of the importance of rest in regard to our overall health.
How much stress do you eat when you eat?
Let's begin to clear up the clutter in the mind. For example: I want my mind to be able to focus and perform at its best for as long as possible.
Often, this clutter is created by negative emotions that are not always clearly understood or accepted as part of ones life (self-fulfillment). Please write down a situation or two where your mind was cluttered or unfocused.
Think about what you would like to change about these situations and make note of any ideas that come to you. Remember: it is not enough to know what you want to change, but also how you want to change. There is a huge difference between the two and if you can clearly understand both ends of this spectrum it will be easier for you to begin working on where your mindset needs the most work.
Today for lunch I had to eat at a restaurant that had overpriced food. I do not like to pay for food when there are many other alternatives, and it is often my choice to take the path of least resistance.
For example: Last week I decided that it would be best for me to purchase my food in bulk instead of paying for individual meals throughout the day. This decision was based on how much it would cost me (financially and otherwise) versus the amount of time I have available to spend preparing meals.
