A GUIDE ON HOW TO ACHIEVE PEACE OF MIND



1. Learn the art of forgiveness. Don’t hold grudges. Grudges drain our energy without us knowing it. A person who knows how to forgive is free from the negative effects of resentment.
2. Learn from your mistakes. Forget the blunders of the past and commit to learn from the errors that you’ve made.
3. Compete with yourself, not with someone else. Trying to keep up with others merely forces you to play second best. Instead, focus on ways to improve yourself based on your standards and you’ll find joy in the fulfillment it brings.
4. See yourself at your best. Don’t torture yourself with frustrations and disappointments. Choose to focus on your good qualities and your talent. Live for the fun of today instead of looking back at the regrets of yesterday.
5. Conserve energy.
a. Do not rush – work, eat, play, sleep leisurely
b. Do not consume your energy on work or play – reserve some for other worthwhile activities
c. Avoid the excesses and do things in moderation – eat, drink, work, play, everything
d. Say no. Do not be afraid to decline requests that you deem unimportant or burdensome.
6. Stay calm and serene. Do not fret or worry. Too much of heavy emotion sucks up our peace of mind.
a. Past is past and you can never bring it back
b. Do your best today and let it go at that
c. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself – most worries never come to pass
d. Put your trust in God and forget all your fears. If God is with you, who will be against you?

Remember that with peace of mind comes the power to live life more effectively.
