Morning habits that changed my life

We all want peace of mind, 

but we, often, fail to achieve it: we worry if our money will last until payday, what do our friends, colleagues, and even strangers think of us.

  Our minds circle, in a way that seems to have no end, around everything that could possibly go wrong. we just start to worry about the next thing, even when we achieve something or solve a problem.

  unfortunately, Problems are real: we can lose our job, illness can come in suddenly, relationships fall apart.

  It feels we’re alone, and our worries will never change.

  We tend, blindly, to follow this way of thinking, even if it is toxic and makes us miserable. But in the end, tranquillity and anxiety both come from our own minds.

       To overcome anxiety, we need to build good habits on a realistic outlook and for the long run.

     So, to have peace of mind, we need to think differently, We shouldn’t believe everything we think, instead, we should take responsibility for ourselves and actively deal with our problems.

    Just as we’ve all got the ability to learn new skills or languages we can also train our minds to seek happiness and peace through meditation. 

   If we spend a moment every morning to set ourselves up for the day ahead, guarding our minds becomes second nature. Something that naturally arises whenever we are frustrated or low.

Meditation helps:

 

   Sitting in nature and observing the view and what’s around you have a great impact on clearing your mind.

   Try to avoid whatever can distract you (phone notification). Shift gracefully your attention back to the present moment.

     Imagine your anxiety as a huge, black balloon full of all the hopes, fears, disappointments, and jealousy.

  This short meditation helps us to concentrate on thinking towards a more compassionate and soulful view: caring for other people, is, however, scientifically proven to reduce anxiety.

We can detonate this balloon by thinking more realistically and using compassion as a tool.

Wander in the positivity land:

    When we have a lot of free time, our minds just wander around and go from "unemployment" stop to "death of someone" stop to "anxiety" stop.

  What we don't know is that we feel relieved when we predict the worse.

   Didn't you ask yourself once why do I always think of the worse that can happen?

   Well, congratulations, you are a human, and your mind is just doing its job.

   You practised your mind to think of the worse, so you can make it think of the best too.

   You cannot stop bad thinking but you can limit it, every time your brain tends to go to that side, put the turnaround signboard and give it signs to wander in the positivity land.

   Don't be afraid of dreaming, don't be shy when you compliment yourself when you remind yourself of your strength. Instead of underestimating your abilities and saying I am too far, pretend that you've reached that dream, you've lived it, and overcame all the obstacles.

 

You must know that:

       -      It is not all about “me”, everything comes from countless causes and conditions. We can not blame one person or the situation for our unhappiness, not even ourselves.

-          - sooner or later, everything has to change, we will never be able to control everything because life goes up and down.

        -      Every other human on earth has problems, we are not alone.

  -   When you realize these truths, it will destroy anxiety’s balloon.

       -        Always be thankful: we are often living distracted and not conscious of what we have today that we did not have yesterday. Being appreciative means being mindful of the positive aspects of your situation. It is the foundation to develop a lifestyle of peace because it encourages a positive outlook on life.

       -        There are things that you can’t control, you must accept things that you can’t change and have the courage to change the things that you can. Let wisdom know the difference.

      -        Many times we are suffering imagined troubles especially when we focus on things outside of our control. True acceptance is the realization that the world is not happening to us, it is not doing what is doing for us, it is just happening, we can’t choose our external circumstances but we can always choose the way to respond to them.

     And always remember, your peace is in your  control
