We are in a special time where amidst all the chaos we really need some inner calm and peace.

The good thing is that we can all contribute to it. Achieving a sense of peace is not limited to monks, mystics, and hermits. The truth is that we all benefit from peace for our own well-being. And, peace can be achieved even in a home with family and at the workplace with co-workers. We know that peaceful people live much happier lives than others. Inner peace is not just for those who dedicate their lives to prayer or spirituality. Inner peace is attainable regardless of our lifestyle or occupation.

I perceive inner peace as being in a state of emotional and mental peace without disturbing thoughts and recognizing our control over our moods and reactions. It is essential for inner peace that we believe it’s possible and that we believe we are in control of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Once we truly believe and acknowledge this, the foundation for inner peace has been built. When one attains inner peace you find that you are able to cope, in a healthy way, with any event or situation happening around you. inner peace does not take away or eliminate our anxieties or fears, rather inner peace allows us to cope with those anxieties and fears, through which we learn and move beyond those anxieties.

What is Inner peace?
Inner peace means a state of being mentally and spiritually at peace. It doesn’t mean that there is no noise or adversity, It means to be in midst of all those and still feel the peace and calmness in your heart. We must each find peace from within. When you carry peace within you, you have the ability to remain calm and joyful at all times, regardless of outside circumstances, or what life offers you at any given moment. Here are some definitions of inner peace:

• Inner peace means being mentally and spiritually at peace.
  Inner peace means freeing your mind from worry and negative thoughts.
  Inner peace is a state in which the mind is quiet and serene.
  Inner peace is having the ability to connect to the supreme self which is eternally at peace.

I agree it’s difficult to ignore negative things in life and move on but this is how life is!

We all face problems in life rather it is part and parcel of this unknown journey. Each one of us can find our inner peace. We just need to practice calming our minds and connecting with our deeper intuitive messages. The path is through acceptance and enlightenment that whatever may come or go I will maintain calmness and not overreact in any sort of situation.

Developing a state of mental ease is not as difficult as it sounds. Everything needs practice and consistency.
